Title
Large monochromatic components of small diameter
Abstract
Gyarfas conjectured in 2011 that every r-edge-colored K n contains a monochromatic component of bounded ("perhaps three") diameter on at least n / ( r - 1 ) vertices. Letzter proved this conjecture with diameter four. In this note we improve the result in the case of r = 3: We show that in every 3-edge-coloring of K n either there is a monochromatic component of diameter at most three on at least n / 2 vertices or every color class is spanning and has diameter at most four.
