It is shown that if G and H are arbitrary fixed graphs and n is sufficiently large, then Also, we prove that r ( K 1 +F, K,) 5 (m+o(l))&(n -+ GO) for any forest Fwhose largest component has m edges. Thus r(Fe, K,) 5 (1 + o(l))&, where Fe = K1 + CK2. We conjecture that r(Fe, K,) -&(n + cm).

1. Introduction
One class of generalized Ramsey numbers that are known exactly are those for the graphs nP2 which consist of n disjoint paths of length 2; E. J. Cockayne and the author proved in 111 that d r(nlp2, ..., n d P 2 ) = n, + I + C(n, -1) j -I
where n, = max(nl, ..., n d ) . This result is now extended to the Ramsey number r(Kp, nlP2, ..., ndP2) where p > 2 and K, is a complete graph with p vertices. Two cases need to be considered, depending on whether d < p or d 2 p and these are the subjects of two theorems. Theorem 1. If d < p , p > 2, and n , , ..., nd are positive, then Theorem 2. If d 3 p > 2 and nl 2 n2 3 1 . -3 nd > 0 then

## Abstract The ramsey number of any tree of order __m__ and the complete graph of order __n__ is 1 + (__m__ β 1)(__n__ β 1).
It is shown that a graph of order N and average degree d that does not contain the book B m =K 1 +K 1, m as a subgraph has independence number at least Nf (d ), where f (x)t(log xΓx) (x Γ ). From this result we find that the book-complete graph Ramsey number satisfies r(B m , K n ) mn 2 Γlog(nΓe). I
This paper establishes that the local k-Ramsey number R(K m , k -loc) is identical with the mean k-Ramsey number R(K m , k -mean). This answers part of a question raised by Caro and Tuza.
