Abstract

For graphs G and F, write G -> (F)(l) if any coloring of the edges of G with l colors yields a monochromatic copy of the graph F. Suppose S-(h) is obtained from a graph S with s vertices and maximum degree d by subdividing its edges h times (that is, by replacing the edges of S by paths of length h + 1). We prove that there exists a graph G with no more than (log s)(20h)s(1+1/(h+1)) edges for which G -> (S-(h))(l) holds, provided that s >= s(0)(h, d, l). Wealso extend this result to the case in which Q is a graph with maximum degree d on q vertices with the property that every pair of vertices of degree greater than 2 are distance at least h + 1 apart. This complements work of Pak regarding the size Ramsey number of ``long subdivisions{''} of bounded degree graphs. (AU)
