Exact values of defective Ramsey numbers in graph classes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Given a graph G, a k-sparse j-set is a set of j vertices inducing a subgraph with maximum degree at most k. A k-dense i-set is a set of i vertices that is k-sparse in the complement of G. As a generalization of Ramsey numbers, the k-defective Ramsey number RkmathcalG(i,j) for the graph class mathcalG is defined as the smallest natural number n such that all graphs on n vertices in the class mathcalG have either a k-dense i-set or a k-sparse j-set. In this paper, we examine RkmathcalG(i,j) where mathcalG represents various graph classes. In forests and cographs, we give formulas for all defective Ramsey numbers. In cacti, bipartite graphs and split graphs, we provide defective Ramsey numbers in most of the cases and point out open questions, formulated as conjectures if possible.
