Ramsey函数估值和图论中的渐近方法

本文介绍在图论极值问题Ramsey数的渐近性态研究上的一些成果,它们的背景和所使用的证明方法,主要是随机图方法和分析方法,给出了几个体现其特色,简单易懂但不失严格性的证明。我们还简介了近年来几项重要数学奖项,包括1997年Fulkerson奖,1998年Fields奖和1999年Wolf奖得主与Ramsey理论有关的工作和方法。这些方法正改变着极值图论研究的面貌,它们将给这个领域带来新的景象。本文也包含笔者的一些结果。

On Some Three-Color Ramsey Numbers

 In this paper we study three-color Ramsey numbers. Let K _i,j denote a complete i by j bipartite graph. We shall show that (i) for any connected graphs G ₁, G ₂ and G ₃, if r(G ₁, G ₂)≥s(G ₃), then r(G ₁, G ₂, G ₃)≥(r(G ₁, G ₂)−1)(χ(G ₃)−1)+s(G ₃), where s(G ₃) is the chromatic surplus of G ₃; (ii) (k+m−2)(n−1)+1≤r(K _1,k , K _1,m , K _n )≤ (k+m−1)(n−1)+1, and if k or m is odd, the second inequality becomes an equality; (iii) for any fixed m≥k≥2, there is a constant c such that r(K _k,m , K _k,m , K _n )≤c(n/logn), and r(C _2m , C _2m , K _n )≤c(n/logn) ^m/(m−1) for sufficiently large n.

r-一致超图Ramsey函数的渐近下界(英文)

本文利用Lovasz局部引理的Spencer形式和对称形式给出r-一致超图Ramsey函数的渐近下界.证明了:对于任意取定的正整数f0,使得当n→∞时,有R~((r))(m~l,n~(k-l))≥(c-o(1))(n~(r-1)/logn)~■.特别地,R~((r))_k(n)≥(1-o(1))n/e k~■(n→∞).对于任意取定的正整数s≥r+1和常数δ>0,α≥0,如果F表示阶为s的r-一致超图,■表示阶为t的r-一致超图,且■的边数满足m(■)≥(δ-o(1))t~r/(logt)α(t→∞),则存在c=c(s,δ,α)>0,使得R~((r))(F,■)≥(c-o(1))(t~(r-1)/(logt)~l+(r-l)α)~(m(F)-l/s-r).     

Ramsey Theory and Bandwidth of Graphs

 The bandwidth of a graph is the minimum, over vertex labelings with distinct integers, of the maximum difference between labels on adjacent vertices. Kuang and McDiarmid proved that almost all n-vertex graphs have bandwidth . Thus the sum of the bandwidths of a graph and its complement is almost always at least ; we prove that it is always at most 2n−4 log ₂ n+o(log n). The proofs involve improving the bounds on the Ramsey and Turán numbers of the “halfgraph”. Received: September 2, 1998?Final version received: November 29, 1999

Upper Bounds to the Number of Vertices in a k-Critically n-Connected Graph

 Let k≤n be positive integers. A finite, simple, undirected graph is called k-critically n-connected, or, briefly, an (n,k)-graph, if it is noncomplete and n-connected and the removal of any set X of at most k vertices results in a graph which is not (n−|X|+1)-connected. We present some new results on the number of vertices of an (n,k)-graph, depending on new estimations of the transversal number of a uniform hypergraph with a large independent edge set.
