Title
Monochromatic Subgraphs in the Absence of a Properly Colored 4-Cycle.
Abstract
Let k be a positive integer and let F and \(H_{1}, H_{2}, \ldots , H_{k}\) be simple graphs. The proper-Ramsey number \(pr_{k}(F; H_{1}, H_{2}, \ldots , H_{k})\) is the minimum integer n such that any k-coloring of the edges of \(K_{n}\) contains either a properly colored copy of F or a copy of \(H_{i}\) in color i, for some i. We consider the case where \(F = C_{4}\) is fixed, and establish the exact value of the proper-Ramsey number when \(\{H_i\}_{i=1}^k\) is a family containing only cliques, and nearly sharp bounds for the proper-Ramsey number when \(\{H_i\}_{i=1}^k\) is a family containing only cycles or only stars. We also give a general bound for the proper-Ramsey number that is nearly tight when \(\{H_i\}_{i=1}^k\) is a family of maximal split graphs.
