PIMS - SFU Discrete Math Seminar: Anurag Bishnoi
July 28, 2021
Online
Abstract: In this talk we will present a new upper bound of $s_r(K_t) = O(t^5r^{5/2})$ on the Ramsey parameter $s_r(K_t)$ introduced by Burr, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'{a}sz in 1976, which is defined as the smallest minimum degree of a graph $G$ such that...
