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 particular, ifmagnified image.
Where k~i~ is the number of components of order i and t~1~ (H) is the minimum order of a color class over all critical colorings of the vertices of H, thenmagnified image.

## Abstract After giving a new proof of a wellβknown theorem of Dirac on critical graphs, we discuss the elegant upper bounds of Matula and SzekeresβWilf which follow from it. In order to improve these bounds, we consider the following fundamental coloring problem: given an edgeβcut (__V__~1~, __V_
## 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,
