Decision Version

Ramsey numbers deal with conditions when a combinatorial object necessarily contains some smaller given objects. It is well known that it is very difficult to obtain the values of Ramsey numbers. In this work, a theoretical chemical/biological solution is presented in terms of membrane computing for the decision version of Ramsey number problem, that is, to decide whether an integer n is the value of Ramsey number R(k, l), where k and l are integers.

Formal Framework

Membrane computing is a formal framework of distributed parallel com- puting. In this paper we implement the work with the prefix tree by P systems with strings and active membranes. We present the algorithms of searching in a dictionary and updating it implemented as membrane systems. The systems are constructed as reusable modules, so they are suitable for using as sub-algorithms for solving more complicated problems.

Hard Problems

Membrane computing is a branch of natural computing aiming to abstract computing models from the structure and functioning of living cells. The computation models obtained in the field of membrane computing are usually called P systems. P systems have been used to solve computationally hard problems efficiently on the assumption that the execution of each rule is completed in exactly one time-unit (a global clock is assumed for timing and synchronizing the execution of rules). However, in biological reality, different biological processes take different times to be completed, which can also be influenced by many environmental factors. In this work, with this biological reality, we give a time-free solution to independent set problem using P systems with active membranes, which solve the problem independent of the execution time of the involved rules.

Do So

We consider the important generalisation of Ramsey numbers, namely on-line Ramsey numbers. It is easiest to understand them by considering a game between two players, a Builder and Painter, on an infinite set of vertices. In each round, the Builder joins two non-adjacent vertices with an edge, and the Painter colors the edge red or blue. An on-line Ramsey number r˜(G,H) is the minimum number of rounds it takes the Builder to force the Painter to create a red copy of graph G or a blue copy of graph H, assuming that both the Builder and Painter play perfectly. The Painter’s goal is to resist to do so for as long as possible. In this paper, we consider the case where G is a path P4 and H is a path P10 or P11.

The graph Ramsey number is the smallest integer with the property that any complete graph of at least vertices whose edges are colored with two colors (say, red and blue) contains either a subgraph isomorphic to all of whose edges are red or a subgraph isomorphic to all of whose edges are blue. In this paper, we consider the Ramsey numbers for theta graphs. We determine , for . More specifically, we establish that for . Furthermore, we determine for . In fact, we establish that if is even, if is odd.

Monochromatic Copy

For given graphs G1,G2,…,Gn and any integer j, the size of the multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1,G2,…,Gn) is the smallest positive integer t such that any n-coloring of the edges of Kj×t contains a monochromatic copy of Gi in color i for some i, 1≤i≤n, where Kj×t denotes the complete multipartite graph having j classes with t vertices per each class. In this paper, we computed the size of the multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,2,P4,nK2) for any j,n≥2 and mj(nK2,C7), for any j≤4 and n≥2.

Given a graph Hwith no isolates, the (generalized) mixed Ramsey number is the smallest integer r such that every H-free graph of order r contains an m-element irredundant set. We consider some questions concerning the asymptotic behaviour of this number (i) with H fixed and , (ii) with m fixed and a sequence of dense graphs, in particular for the sequence . Open problems are mentioned throughout the paper.

The Impact

Membrane Computing is a branch of Computer Science initiated by<br />Gheorghe Păun in 1998, in a technical report of Turku Centre for Computer Science<br />published as a journal paper ("Computing with Membranes" in Journal of Computer<br />and System Sciences) in 2000. Membrane systems, as Gheorghe Păun called the<br />models he has introduced, are known nowadays as "P Systems" (with the letter P<br />coming from the initial of the name of this research area "father").<br />This note is an overview of the impact in ISI WoS of Gheorghe Păun’s works, focused<br />on Membrane Computing and P Systems field, on the occasion of his 65th birthday<br />anniversary.

Ramsey Numbers

Let $Q(n,c)$ denote the minimum clique number over graphs with $n$ vertices and chromatic number $c$. We investigate the asymptotics of $Q(n,c)$ when $n/c$ is held constant. We show that when $n/c$ is an integer $\alpha$, $Q(n,c)$ has the same growth order as the inverse function of the Ramsey number $R(\alpha+1,t)$ (as a function of $t$). Furthermore, we show that if certain asymptotic properties of the Ramsey numbers hold, then $Q(n,c)$ is in fact asymptotically equivalent to the aforementioned inverse function. We use this fact to deduce that $Q(n,\lceil n/3 \rceil)$ is asymptotically equivalent to the inverse function of $R(4,t)$.
