The Ramsey number of loose paths in 3-uniform hypergraphs (Q1953390)

Summary: Recently, asymptotic values of 2-color Ramsey numbers for loose cycles and also loose paths were determined. Here we determine the 2-color Ramsey number of 3-uniform loose paths when one of the paths is significantly larger than the other: for every \(n\geq \Big\lfloor\frac{5m}{4}\Big\rfloor\), we show that \[ R(\mathcal{P}^3_n,\mathcal{P}^3_m)=2n+\Big\lfloor\frac{m+1}{2}\Big\rfloor. \]
