Abstract

Given graphs G and H and a positive integer q, say that G is q-Ramsey for H, denoted G -> (H)(q), if every q-coloring of the edges of G contains a monochromatic copy of H. The size-Ramsey number (r) over cap (H) of a graph H is defined to be (r) over cap (H) = min[vertical bar E (G)vertical bar: G -> (H)(2)]. Answering a question of Conlon, we prove that, for every fixed k, we have (r) over cap (P-n(k)) = O(n), where P-n(k) is the kth power of the n-vertex path P-n (ie, the graph with vertex set V(P-n) and all edges [u, v] such that the distance between u and v in Pn is at most k). Our proof is probabilistic, but can also be made constructive. (AU)
