Ramsey number
E1174200
UNEXPLORED
A Ramsey number is the smallest integer n such that any coloring or partitioning of the edges of a complete graph on n vertices must contain a particular monochromatic substructure, making it a central object in combinatorics and graph theory.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15741741 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Ramsey theory
Ramsey theory is a branch of combinatorics that studies the conditions under which order or structure must appear within sufficiently large or complex mathematical objects.
-
B.
Graham–Rothschild theorem
The Graham–Rothschild theorem is a fundamental result in Ramsey theory that generalizes classical partition theorems to higher-dimensional combinatorial structures.
-
C.
Erdős–Stone theorem
The Erdős–Stone theorem is a fundamental result in extremal graph theory that asymptotically determines the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex graph that avoids containing a given subgraph.
-
D.
Turán's theorem
Turán's theorem is a fundamental result in extremal graph theory that determines the maximum number of edges a graph can have without containing a complete subgraph of a given size.
-
E.
Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem
The Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem is a fundamental result in extremal combinatorics that determines the maximum size of a family of subsets of a finite set in which every pair of subsets has a non-empty intersection.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
