对于给定的整数(k;r), Folkman数f(k;r)是图(k +1个顶点)中不包含团的最小顶点数,但对于图(k +1个顶点)的每一个边划分,都有一部分包含一个有序的团。Folkman数的存在性(有限性)是由Folkman(1970)对r=2和Nešetřil和Rödl(1976)对任意r建立的,但这些证明导致f(k;r)的上界很弱。最近,Conlon和Gowers以及独立作者获得了f(k;2)的双指数界。在这里,我们通过展示f(k;r)的上界来建立一个进一步的改进,它是kandr的多项式的指数。这与已知的下界2Ω(rk)相当。我们的证明依赖于Saxton和Thomason最近的一个结果(或者,也可以依赖于Balogh、Morris和Samotij最近的一个结果),从这个结果我们推导出随机图中Ramsey定理的一个定量版本。
For given integerskandr, the Folkman numberf(k;r) is the smallest number of vertices in a graphGwhich contains no clique onk+1 vertices, yet for every partition of its edges intorparts, some part contains a clique of orderk. The existence (finiteness) of Folkman numbers was established by Folkman (1970) forr=2 and by Nešetřil and Rödl (1976) for arbitraryr, but these proofs led to very weak upper bounds onf(k;r).Recently, Conlon and Gowers and independently the authors obtained a doubly exponential bound onf(k;2). Here, we establish a further improvement by showing an upper bound onf(k;r) which is exponential in a polynomial ofkandr. This is comparable to the known lower bound 2Ω(rk). Our proof relies on a recent result of Saxton and Thomason (or, alternatively, on a recent result of Balogh, Morris, and Samotij) from which we deduce a quantitative version of Ramsey’s theorem in random graphs.
