In particular we improve several lower bounds for Rk 4 and Rk 5 for some small k including 415 R3 5 634 R4 4 2721 R4 5 3416 R5 4 and 26082 R5 5 . Most of the new lower bounds are consequences of general constructions. THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 11 2004 R35 1 1 Introduction and Notation In this paper we study undirected loopless graphs and edge-colorings where technically an edge joining u and v is a set u v . Often however we will denote the same edge by u v or equivalently by v u . A k1 k2 . kr -coloring r kị 1 is an assignment of one of r colors to each edge in a complete graph such that it does not contain any monochromatic complete subgraph Kki in color i for 1 i r. Similarly a k1 k2 . kr n -coloring is a k1 . kr -coloring of the complete graph on n vertices Kn. Let R k1 . kr and R k1 . kr n denote the set of all k1 . kr - and k1 . kr n -colorings respectively. The Ramsey number R k1 . kr is defined to be the least n 0 such that R k1 . kr n is empty. In the diagonal case k1 . kr m we will use simpler notation Rr m and Rr m n for sets of colorings and Rr m for the Ramsey numbers. In the case of 2 colors r 2 we deal with
