Let the Ramsey number $R^r(BG,BG)$ be the smallest integer $n$ such that for any $2$-edge-coloring of a complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, there is a monochromatic Berge-$G$ subhypergraph. In this paper, we show that the 2-color Ramsey number of Berge cliques is linear. In particular, we show that $R^3(BK_s, BK_t) = s+t-3$ for $s,t \\geq 4$ and $\\max(s,t) \\geq 5$ where $BK_n$ is a Berge-$K_n$ hypergraph. For higher uniformity, we show that $R^4(BK_t, BK_t) = t+1$ for $t\\geq 6$ and $R^k(BK_t, BK_t)=t$ for $k \\geq 5$ and $t$ sufficiently large. We also investigate the Ramsey number of trace hypergraphs, suspension hypergraphs and expansion hypergraphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-29T14:58:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ramsey number", "related structures", "berge-hypergraphs", "suspension hypergraphs", "expansion hypergraphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
