Ramsey functions related to the van der waerden numbers
1992

., Ramsey functions related to the van der Waerden numbers, Discrete Mathematics 102 (1992) 265-278. ...
Introduction One of the more difficult problems in Ramsey theory has been the estimation of the van der Waerden numbers. ...
If, in the definition of w(n), we substitute for the class 9 of arithmetic progressions, a class 9', containing 9, and define w'(n) to be the Ramsey number corresponding to 9' instead of 9, it is clear ...

On Ramsey-type positional games
2009
Journal of Graph Theory
Beck introduced the concept of Ramsey-type games by studying the game versions of Ramsey's and van der Waerden's theorems. ...
We contribute to this topic by investigating games corresponding to structural extensions of Ramsey's and van der Waerden's theorems-the theorem of Brauer, structural and restricted Ramsey theorems. ...
For Theorem 1, let us just recall that the Van der Waerden function is known to be primitive recursive (as shown first by Shelah [11] ) and the two tower function bound was obtained recently by Gowers ...

Using the problem of computing van der Waerden numbers as an example, we show that these problems can be represented by parameterized propositional theories in such a way that decisions concerning their ...

On the van der Waerden numbers w(2;3,t)

We present results and conjectures on the van der Waerden numbers w(2;3,t) and on the new palindromic van der Waerden numbers pdw(2;3,t). ...
Different from the situation for ordinary van der Waerden numbers, these "numbers" need actually to be pairs of numbers. ...

A new lower bound for van der Waerden numbers

European journal of combinatorics (Print)
The recurrence can also be used to construct explicit valid colorings, and it improves known lower bounds on small van der Waerden numbers. ...
In this paper we prove a new recurrence relation on the van der Waerden numbers, w(r,k). In particular, if p is a prime and p≤ k then w(r, k) > p ·(w(r - r/p, k) -1). ...
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Craig Timmons for his helpful comments which improved this paper. Keywords: Van der Waerden numbers. ...

The van der Waerden complex

We introduce the van der Waerden complex vdW(n,k) defined as the simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions of length k in the vertex set {1, 2, ..., n}. ...
We show the van der Waerden complex vdW(n,k) is homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex whose cells asymptotically have dimension at most k / k. ...

Consequently, there will be no need to give scientific meaning to phenomena, by proposing, say, causal relations, since regularities in very large databases are enough: "with enough data, the numbers speak ...
The "end of science" is proclaimed. Using classical results from ergodic theory, Ramsey theory and algorithmic information theory, we show that this "philosophy" is wrong. ...
