Off‐diagonal and asymptotic results on the Ramsey number r(K2,m,K2,n)

An upper bound on the Ramsey number r(K_2,n‐s,K_2,n) where s ≥ 2 is presented. Considering certain r(K_2,n‐s,K_2,n)‐colorings obtained from strongly regular graphs, we additionally prove that this bound matches the exact value of r(K_2,n‐s,K_2,n) in infinitely many cases if holds. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of r(K_2,m,K_2,n) is studied for n being sufficiently large depending on m. We conclude with a table of all known Ramsey numbers r(K_2,m,K_2,n) where m,n ≤ 10. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 43: 252–268, 2003
