The Ramsey number R(G 1 , G 2 ) is the smallest integer p such that for any graph Some new upper bound formulas are obtained for R(G 1 , G 2 ) and R(m, n), and we derive some new upper bounds for Ramsey numbers here.

Abstract
We consider the following question: how large does n have to be to guarantee that in any twoβcoloring of the edges of the complete graph K~n,n~ there is a monochromatic K~k,k~? In the late 1970s, Irving showed that it was sufficient, for k large, that nββ₯ 2^kββ 1^ (kββ 1) β 1. Here we improve upon this bound, showing that it is sufficient to take

A harmonious coloring of a simple graph G is a proper vertex coloring such that each pair of colors appears together on at most one edge. The harmonious chromatic number h(G) is the least number of colors in such a coloring. We obtain a new upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of general
