A natural generalization of graph Ramsey theory is the study of unavoidable sub-graphs in large colored graphs. In this paper, we find a minimal family of unavoidable graphs in two-edge-colored graphs. Namely, for a positive even integer k, let S\"k be the family of two-edge-colored graphs on k vertices such that one of the colors forms either two disjoint K\"k\"/\"2's or simply one K\"k\"/\"2. Bollobas conjectured that for all k and @e0, there exists an n(k,@e) such that if n=n(k,@e) then every two-edge-coloring of K\"n, in which the density of each color is at least @e, contains a member of this family. We solve this conjecture and present a series of results bounding n(k,@e) for different ranges of @e. In particular, if @e is sufficiently close to 12, the gap between our upper and lower bounds for n(k,@e) is smaller than those for the classical Ramsey number R(k,k). |
