Title: Multipartite graph-sparse graph Ramsey numbers. (In English)
Source: Combinatorica 5, 311-318 (1985).
Review: Let F and G be finite graphs. The Ramsey number r(F,G) is the smallest positive integer n so that, given any graph on n vertices, either it contains a subgraph isomorphic to F or its complement contains a subgraph isomorphic to G. In this paper, the Ramsey number r(F,G) is determined in the case where F is an arbitrary fixed graph and G is a sufficiently large sparse connected graph with restrictions on the maximum degree of its vertices. An asymptotically correct upper bound is obtained for f(F,T) where T is a sufficiently large, but otherwise arbitrary, tree.
