Abstract

The irredundant Ramsey Number s(m,n) is the least value of p such that for any p-vertex graph G, either G has an irredundant set of at least n vertices or its complement G^- has an irredundant set of at least m vertices. The existence of these numbers is guaranteed by Ramsey's theorem. We prove that s(3,3)=6, s(3,4)=8 and s(3,5)=12.
