We call $G_A$ the \\emph{partial order graph} of $A$. Further, we say that a graph $G$ is a partial order graph if there exists a partially ordered set $A$ such that $G = G_A$. For a class $\\mathcal{C}$ of simple, undirected graphs and $n$, $m \\ge 1$, we define the Ramsey number $\\mathcal{R}_{\\mathcal{C}}(m,n)$ with respect to $\\mathcal{C}$ to be the minimal number of vertices $r$ such that every induced subgraph of an arbitrary partial order graph consisting of $r$ vertices contains either a complete $n$-clique $K_n$ or an independent set consisting of $m$ vertices. In this paper, we determine the Ramsey number with respect to some classes of partial order graphs. Furthermore, some implications of Ramsey numbers in ring theory are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-17T18:54:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13A15", "06A06", "05D10" ], "keywords": [ "ramsey number", "ring theory", "implications", "partially ordered set", "arbitrary partial order graph consisting" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
