Abstract:
Extending the previous results on Folkman numbers for cliques we are interested in the following generalization. For a given graph G and a number of colors r let F(G,r) be the order of the smallest graph H such that the clique number of H equals the clique number of G and any r-coloring of the vertices of H yields a monochromatic and induced copy of G. In this talk we give a relatively small upper bound on F(G,r) as a function of the order of G and its clique number.
