Problem Statement

Rk(m,n) R_k(m,n) is the least number such that for each coloring of k k-subsets of {1,2,,Rk(m,n)} \{1,2,\dots,R_k(m,n)\} with blue and red colors, there is a subset with m m elements such that all of its k-subsets are red or there is a subset with n n elements such that all of its k k-subsets are blue. a) If we give a direction randomly to all edges of a graph Kn K_n then what is the probability that the resultant graph does not have directed triangles? b) Prove that there exists a c c such that R3(4,n)2cn R_3(4,n)\geq2^{cn}.
