## Abstract A formula is presented for the ramsey number of any forest of order at least 3 versus any graph __G__ of order __n__ β₯ 4 having clique number __n__ β 1. In particular, if __T__ is a tree of order __m__ β₯ 3, then __r(T, G)__ = 1 + (__m__ β 1)(__n__ β 2).
For n = 1, 2, . . . , let 6, = K2+ K,,. We pose the problem of determining the Ramsey numbers r(&, B,) and demonstrate that in many cases critical colorings are available from known examples of strongly regular graphs.
## Abstract It is shown that the Ramsey number of any graph with __n__ vertices in which no two vertices of degree at least 3 are adjacent is at most 12__n__. In particular, the above estimate holds for the Ramsey number of any __n__βvertex subdivision of an arbitrary graph, provided each edge of t
