A new construction of self-complementary graphs containing no Klo or K , is described. This construction gives the Ramsey number lower bounds r(10,lO) 2 458 and r(1 1,l 1 ) 2 542. The problem of determining the Ramsey numbers is known to be very difficult and so we are often satisfied with partial

Abstract
A method is described of constructing a class of selfβcomplementary graphs, that includes a selfβcomplementary graph, containing no K~5~, with 41 vertices and a selfβcomplementary graph, containing no K~7~, with 113 vertices. The latter construction gives the improved Ramsey number lower bound r(7, 7) β₯ 114.

## dedicated to the memory of rodica simion Let G be an r-uniform hypergraph. The multicolor Ramsey number r k G is the minimum n such that every k-coloring of the edges of the complete r-uniform hypergraph K r n yields a monochromatic copy of G. Improving slightly upon results from M. Axenovich,
## Abstract Bounds are determined for the Ramsey number of the union of graphs versus a fixed graph __H__, based on the Ramsey number of the components versus __H__. For certain unions of graphs, the exact Ramsey number is determined. From these formulas, some new Ramsey numbers are indicated. In p
## Abstract In this paper, we prove that the Kneser graphs defined on a ground set of __n__ elements, where __n__ is even, have their circular chromatic numbers equal to their chromatic numbers. Β© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 49: 257β261, 2005
