Abstract

The k-color bipartite Ramsey number of a bipartite graph H is the least integer n for which every k-edge-colored complete bipartite graph kn,n contains a monochromatic copy of H. The study of bipartite Ramsey numbers was initiated, over 40 years ago, by Faudree and Schelp and, independently, by Gyárfás and Lehel, who determined the 2-color Ramsey number of paths. In this paper we determine asymptotically the 3-color bipartite Ramsey number of paths and (even) cycles.
