Abstract

AbstractFor every infinite cardinal λ and 2 ≤ n < ω there is a directed graph D of size λ such that D does not contain directed circuits of length ≤n and if its vertices are colored with <λ colors, then there is a monochromatic directed circuit of length n + 1. For every infinite cardinal λ and finite graph X there is a λ‐sized graph Y such that if the vertices of Y are colored with <λ colors, then there is a monochromatic induced copy of X. Further, Y does not contain larger cliques or shorter odd circuits than X. The constructions are using variants of Specker‐type graphs.

Highlights

  • Joó proved that if n ≥ 2, κ is an infinite cardinal, there is a directed graph (V, D) with no directed circuit of length at most n, such that if V is colored with κ colors, there is a monochromatic directed circuit of length n + 1 [3]

  • In this note we give such an example using a variant of Specker‐type graphs

  • In the following part of the paper we prove a similar partition result for undirected graphs
