Let F , G and H be simple graphs. A graph F is said a (G, H) arrowing graph if in any red-blue coloring of edges of F we can find a red G or a blue H. The size Ramsey number of G and H, r(G, H), is the minimum size of F. If the order of F equals to the Ramsey number of G and H, r(G, H), then the minimum size of F is called the restricted size Ramsey number of G and H, r ⇤ (G, H). The Ramsey number of G and H, r(G, H), is the minimum order of F. In this paper, we study the restricted size number involving a P 3. The value of r ⇤ (P 3 , K n) has been given by Faudree and Sheehan. Here, we examine r ⇤ (P 3 , H) where H is dense connected graph.
