Abstract:

Given two non-empty graphs $G,H$ and a positive integer $k$, the Gallai-Ramsey number $\textrm{gr}_k(G:H)$ is defined as the minimum positive integer $N$ such that for all $n\geq N$, every $k$-edge-colored $K_n$ contains either a rainbow subgraph $G$ or a monochromatic subgraph $H$. In this paper, we get some exact values or bounds of $\textrm{gr}_k(K_{1,3}:H)$, $\textrm{gr}_k(P_5:H)$, and $\textrm{gr}_k(P_4^{+}:H)$ for $k\geq 3$, where $H$ is a complete bipartite graph.

Keywords:
