Given a positive integer s, the s‐colour size‐Ramsey number of a graph H is the smallest integer m such that there exists a graph G with m edges with the property that, in any colouring of E(G) with s colours, there is a monochromatic copy of H. We prove that, for any positive integers k and s, the s‐colour size‐Ramsey number of the kth power of any n‐vertex bounded degree tree is linear in n. As a corollary, we obtain that the s‐colour size‐Ramsey number of n‐vertex graphs with bounded treewidth and bounded degree is linear in n, which answers a question raised by Kamčev, Liebenau, Wood and Yepremyan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
