Abstract

The k$-colour bipartite Ramsey number of a bipartite graph H is the least integer N for which every k -edge-coloured complete bipartite graph K N , 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 -colour bipartite Ramsey number of paths. Recently the 3 -colour Ramsey number of paths and (even) cycles, was essentially determined as well. Improving the results of DeBiasio, Gyárfás, Krueger, Ruszinkó, and Sárközy, in this paper we determine asymptotically the 4 -colour bipartite Ramsey number of paths and cycles. We also provide new upper bounds on the k -colour bipartite Ramsey numbers of paths and cycles which are close to being tight.
