For $k \geq 5$, we establish new lower bounds on the Schur numbers $S(k)$ and on the k-color Ramsey numbers of $K_3$.

In this note we show how to extend Mathon's cyclotomic colorings of the edges of some complete graphs without increasing the maximum order of monochromatic complete subgraphs. This improves the well known lower bound construction for multicolor Ramsey numbers, in particular we obtain $R_3(7) \ge 3214$.

We give two lower bound formulas for multicolored Ramsey numbers. These formulas improve the bounds for several small multicolored Ramsey numbers.

For ordered graphs $G$ and $H$, the ordered Ramsey number $r_<(G,H)$ is the smallest $n$ such that every red/blue edge coloring of the complete ordered graph on vertices $\{1,\dots,n\}$ contains either a blue copy of $G$ or a red copy of $H$, where the embedding must preserve the relative order of vertices. One number of interest, first studied by Conlon, Fox, Lee, and Sudakov, is the off-diagonal ordered Ramsey number $r_<(M, K_3)$, where $M$ is an ordered matching on $n$ vertices. In particular, Conlon et al. asked what asymptotic bounds (in $n$) can be obtained for $\max r_<(M, K_3)$, where the maximum is over all ordered matchings $M$ on $n$ vertices. The best-known upper bound is $O(n^2/\log n)$, whereas the best-known lower bound is $\Omega((n/\log n)^{4/3})$, and Conlon et al. hypothesize that there is some fixed $\epsilon > 0$ such that $r_<(M, K_3) = O(n^{2-\epsilon})$ for every ordered matching $M$. We resolve two special cases of this conjecture. We show that the off-diagonal ordered Ramsey numbers for ordered matchings in which edges do not cross are nearly linear. We also prove a truly sub-quadratic upper bound for random ordered matchings with interval chromatic number $2$.

<p>Burger and Vuuren defined the size multipartite Ramsey number for a pair of complete, balanced, multipartite graphs <em>mj</em>(<em>Ka</em>x<em>b</em>,<em>Kc</em>x<em>d</em>), for natural numbers <em>a,b,c,d</em> and <em>j</em>, where <em>a,c</em> &gt;= 2, in 2004. They have also determined the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of size multipartite Ramsey numbers <em>mj</em>(<em>Ka</em>x<em>b</em>,<em>Kc</em>x<em>d</em>). Syafrizal <em>et al</em>. generalized this definition by removing the completeness requirement. For simple graphs <em>G</em> and <em>H</em>, they defined the size multipartite Ramsey number <em>mj</em>(<em>G,H</em>) as the smallest natural number <em>t</em> such that any red-blue coloring on the edges of <em>Kj</em>x<em>t</em> contains a red <em>G</em> or a blue <em>H</em> as a subgraph. In this paper, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of multipartite Ramsey numbers <em>mj</em>(<em>G,H</em>), where both <em>G</em> and <em>H</em> are non complete graphs. Furthermore, we determine the exact values of the size multipartite Ramsey numbers <em>mj</em>(<em>K</em>1,<em>m</em>, <em>K</em>1,<em>n</em>) for all integers <em>m,n &gt;= </em>1 and <em>j </em>= 2,3, where <em>K</em>1,<em>m</em> is a star of order <em>m</em>+1. In addition, we also determine the lower bound of <em>m</em>3(<em>kK</em>1,<em>m</em>, <em>C</em>3), where <em>kK</em>1,<em>m</em> is a disjoint union of <em>k</em> copies of a star <em>K</em>1,<em>m</em> and <em>C</em>3 is a cycle of order 3.</p>
