Abstract:The Ramsey number R X (p, q) for a class of graphs X is the minimum n such that every graph in X with at least n vertices has either a clique of size p or an independent set of size q. We say that Ramsey numbers are linear in X if there is a constant k such that R X (p, q) ≤ k(p + q) for all p, q. In the present paper we conjecture that if X is a hereditary class defined by finitely many forbidden induced subgraphs, then Ramsey numbers are linear in X if and only if the co-chromatic number is bounded in X.
