Abstract
We analyze three applications of Ramseyβs Theorem for 4βtuples to infinite traceable graphs and finitely generated infinite lattices using the tools of reverse mathematics. The applications in graph theory are shown to be equivalent to Ramseyβs Theorem while the application in lattice theory is shown to be provable in the weaker system RCA~0~.

The relationship of Grundy and chromatic numbers of graphs in the context of Reverse Mathematics is investigated.
## Abstract One of the earliest applications of transfinite numbers is in the construction of derived sequences by Cantor [2]. In [6], the existence of derived sequences for countable closed sets is proved in ATR~0~. This existence theorem is an intermediate step in a proof that a statement concern
This paper uses the framework of reverse mathematics to analyze the proof theoretic content of several statements concerning multiplication of countable well-orderings. In particular, a division algorithm for ordinal arithmetic is shown t o be equivalent t o the subsystem ATRo.
Hypercubes are characterized among connected bipartite graphs by interval conditions in several ways. These results are based on the following two facts: (i) connected bipartite graphs are median provided that all their intervals induce median graphs, and (ii) median (0, 2)graphs are hypercubes. No
