Some two color, four variable Rado numbers

Abstract: There exists a minimum integer

N

such that any 2-coloring of

1, 2, ..., N

admits a monochromatic solution to

x + y + k z = e l l w

for

k, e l l i n m a t h b b Z^{+}

, where

N

depends on

k

and

e l l

. We determine

N

when

e l l - k i n 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

, for all

k, e l l

for which

1 / 2 ((e l l - k)^{2} - 2) (e l l - k + 1) l e q k l e q e l l - 4

, as well as for arbitrary

k

when

e l l = 2

.

Review text

For a positive integer \(k\) and an integer \(j>-k\), denoting the equation \(x+y+kz = (k+j)w\) by \(\varepsilon(k,j)\), the paper gives bounds and exact values in some cases for the constant \(RR(\varepsilon)\) which is the minimum integer \(N\) such that any \(2\)-colouring of \([1,N]\) admits a monochromatic solution to \(\varepsilon\); a result of \textit{R. Rado} [Math. Z. 36, 424--480 (1933; Zbl 0006.14603)] gives rise to this question. The authors make some conjectures at the final section of the article.
