## Abstract Jacobson, Levin, and Scheinerman introduced the fractional Ramsey function __r__~__f__~ (__a__~1~, __a__~2~, β¦, __a__~__k__~) as an extension of the classical definition for Ramsey numbers. They determined an exact formula for the fractional Ramsey function for the case __k__=2. In this

β¦ Synopsis
The aim of this paper is to show that for any n Β₯ N, n > 3, there exist a, b Β₯ N* such that n=a+b, the ''lengths'' of a and b having the same parity (see the text for the definition of the ''length'' of a natural number). Also we will show that for any n Β₯ N, n > 2, n ] 5, 10, there exist a, b Β₯ N* such that n=a+b, the ''lengths'' of a and b having different parities. We will prove also that for any prime p -7(mod 8) there exist a, b Β₯ N* such that p=a 2 +b, the ''length'' of b being an even number.

In 1954 Lorentz and Erdo s showed that there are very thin sets of positive integers complementary to the set of primes. In particular, there is an A N with (ii) every n n 0 can be written as n=a+ p, a # A, p prime. Erdo s conjectured that the bound (i) could be sharpened to o(ln 2 x) or even O(ln
An explicit expression is obtained for the generating series for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the torus, with elementary branch points and prescribed ramification type over infinity. This proves a conjecture of Goulden, Jackson, and Vainshtein for the explicit number of such cov
Let P(G, \*) denote the chromatic polynomial of a graph G. It is proved in this paper that for every connected graph G of order n and real number \* n, (\*&2) n&1 P(G, \*)&\*(\*&1) n&2 P(G, \*&1) 0. By this result, the following conjecture proposed by Bartels and Welsh is proved: P(G, n)(P(G, n&1))
