Abstract

For two given graphs G"1 and G"2, the Ramsey number R(G"1,G"2) is the smallest integer n such that for any graph G of order n, either G contains G"1 or the complement of G contains G"2. Let C"m denote a cycle of length m and K"n a complete graph of order n. In this paper, it is shown that R(C"6,K"8)=36.
