摘要
For a given graph H, the Ramsey number r(H) is the minimum N such that any 2-edge-coloring of the complete graph K-N yields a monochromatic copy of H. Given a positive integer n, a fanF(n) is a graph formed by n triangles that share one common vertex. We show that 9n/2-5 <= r(F-n) < 11n/2+6 for any n. This improves previous best bounds r(F-n) <= 6n of Lin and Li and r(F-n) >= 4n+2 of Zhang, Broersma and Chen. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
