It is an n-regular graph on 2^n vertices. The Ramsey number r(Q_n, K_s) is the minimum N such that every graph of order N contains the cube graph Q_n or an independent set of order s. Burr and Erdos in 1983 asked whether the simple lower bound r(Q_n, K_s) >= (s-1)(2^n - 1)+1 is tight for s fixed and n sufficiently large. We make progress on this problem, obtaining the first upper bound which is within a constant factor of the lower bound.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-12-13T15:22:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C55", "05D10" ], "keywords": [ "ramsey number", "cube graph", "simple lower bound", "first upper bound", "n-dimensional cube" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1208.1732C" } } }
