Abstract

The Ramsey number \(R_X(p,q)\) 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 \(R_{X}(p,q) \le k(p+q)\) 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.
