Split and balanced colorings of complete graphs

An (r, n)-split coloring of a complete graph is an edge coloring with r colors under which the vertex set is partitionable into r parts so that for each i, part i does not contain K_n in color i. This generalizes the notion of split graphs which correspond to (2, 2)-split colorings. The smallest N for which the complete graph K_N has a coloring which is not (r, n)-split is denoted by ?_r(n). Balanced (r,n)-colorings are defined as edge r-colorings of KN such that every subset of N/r] vertices contains a monochromatic K_n in all colors. Then g_r(n) is defined as the smallest N such that K_N has a balanced (r, n)-coloring. The definitions imply that f_r(n) g_r(n). The paper gives estimates and exact values of these functions for various choices of parameters.
