Abstract

The Ramsey number RX(p, q) for a class of graphs X is the minimum n such that every graph in X with at least n vertices has either a clique of size p or an independent set of size q. We say that Ramsey number is linear in X if there is a constant k such that RX(p, q) ≤k(p+q) for all p, q. In the present paper we conjecture that Ramsey number is linear in X if and only if the co-chromatic number is bounded in X and determine Ramsey numbers for several classes of graphs that verify the conjecture.
