Abstract

Fix a graph F and a positive integer r. With a graph G, we associate the quantity c"r","F(G), the number of r-colorings of the edge set of G with no monochromatic copy of F as a subgraph. Consider the function c"r","F:N@?N given by c"r","F(n)=max{c"r","F(G):|V(G)|=n}, the maximum of c"r","F(G) over all graphs G on n vertices. In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of c"r","F(n) and describe the extremal graphs for some forbidden graphs F with linear Turan number, such as small paths, stars and trees.
