Size-Ramsey numbers of graphs have been studied for almost 40 years with particular focus on the case of trees and bounded degree graphs. We initiate the study of size-Ramsey numbers for $k$-uniform hypergraphs. Analogous to the graph case, we consider the size-Ramsey number of cliques, paths, trees, and bounded degree hypergraphs. Our results suggest that size-Ramsey numbers for hypergraphs are extremely difficult to determine, and many open problems remain.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-03-21T14:32:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05D10", "05C55" ], "keywords": [ "size-ramsey number", "open problems remain", "monochromatic copy", "bounded degree hypergraphs", "graph case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
