The authors prove upper bounds by presenting a new host graph construction, which reduces the problem to finding a cycle of approximate given length in a graph with local sparsity.","gist":"The paper greatly improves bounds on induced size-Ramsey numbers of cycles, giving polynomial dependence on k for even cycles and near-matching exponential bounds for odd cycles, via a new host graph construction.","meaning":"The claim says how many edges a graph needs so that any colouring of its edges with k colours forces an induced monochromatic odd cycle of length n. The needed number grows linearly in n, and the paper pins down how the constant depends on k: between e^{Ω(k)} and e^{O(k log k)}. The gap in the exponent is only a factor of log k, so the bounds nearly match. Earlier results had a much worse, tower-type dependence on k.","findings":["For even n, the induced size-Ramsey number of the cycle is at most O(k^102) times n, a polynomial dependence on k.","For odd n, the induced size-Ramsey number is at most e^{O(k log k)} times n, almost matching a lower bound of e^{Ω(k)} times n.","The ordinary (non-induced) size-Ramsey number of odd cycles is e^{O(k)} times n, improving the previous e^{O(k^2)} times n and best possible up to the constant in the exponent."],"terms":[{"term":"induced size-Ramsey number","means":"The smallest number of edges a host graph can have so that every k-colouring of its edges contains a single-coloured copy of the target graph that is an induced subgraph of the host."},{"term":"induced subgraph","means":"A part of a graph made by choosing some vertices and keeping every edge of the host graph between them."},{"term":"C_n","means":"The cycle graph on n vertices, a closed loop of n vertices each joined to two neighbours."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-20T11:16:17.812Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-20T11:16:17.812Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
