Abstract

Inspired by an investigation of Ramsey theory, this paper aims to clarify in further detail a number of results regarding the existence of monochromatic cycles in complete graphs whose edges are colored red or blue. The second half focuses on a proof given by Gyula Károlyi and Vera Rosta for the solution of all R(Cn,Ck).
