Rudiments of Ramsey Theory: Second Edition

A co-publication of the AMS and CBMS
In every sufficiently large structure which
has been partitioned there will always be some well-behaved structure
in one of the parts. This takes many forms. For example, colorings
of the integers by finitely many colors must have long monochromatic
arithmetic progressions (van der Waerden's theorem); and colorings of
the edges of large graphs must have monochromatic subgraphs of a
specified type (Ramsey's theorem). This book explores many of the
basic results and variations of this theory.
Since the first edition of this book there have been many advances
in this field. In the second edition the authors update the exposition
to reflect the current state of the art. They also include many
pointers to modern results.
