Title
On generalized Ramsey numbers of Erdős and Rogers.
Abstract
Extending the concept of Ramsey numbers, Erdős and Rogers introduced the following function. For given integers 2≤s<t letfs,t(n)=min⁡{max⁡{|W|:W⊆V(G) and fs,t(n)=G[W] contains no Ks}}, where the minimum is taken over all Kt-free graphs G of order n. In this paper, we show that for every s≥3 there exist constants c1=c1(s) and c2=c2(s) such that fs,s+1(n)≤c1(log⁡n)c2n. This result is best possible up to a polylogarithmic factor. We also show that for all t−2≥s≥4, there exists a constant c3=c3(s) such that fs,t(n)≤c3n. In doing so, we partially answer a question of Erdős by showing that limn→∞⁡fs+1,s+2(n)fs,s+2(n)=∞ for any s≥4.
