We survey some results on covering the vertices of 2-colored complete graphs by t w o paths or by t w o cycles Qf different color. W e show the role of these results i n determining path Ramsey numbers and in algorithms for finding long monochromatic paths or cycles in 2-colored complete graphs. ##

Let k = 3 or 4, and let n be a natural number not divisible by k -1. Consider any edge coloring of the complete graph K of order (k-l)(n-1)+2 with k colors. The following facts were known previously: (i) K contains a monochromatic connected subgraph on more than n vertices. (ii) There are k -1 monoc
For positive integers m 1 ; . . . ; m k , let f (m 1 ; . . . ; m k ) be the minimum order of a graph whose edges can be colored with k colors such that every vertex is in a clique of cardinality m i , all of whose edges have the ith color for all i ¼ 1; 2; . . . ; k. The value for k ¼ 2 was determin
The tree partition number of an r-edge-colored graph G, denoted by t r (G), is the minimum number k such that whenever the edges of G are colored with r colors, the vertices of G can be covered by at most k vertex-disjoint monochromatic trees. We determine t 2 (K (n 1 ; n 2 ; . . . ; n k )) of the c
