Following the notation in Faudree and Schelp [3], we write G → (F, H) to mean that every 2-coloring of E(G), the edge set of G, contains a green (the first color) F or a red (the second color) H. Then the Ramsey number r(F, H) of two graphs F and H with no isolated vertices has been defined as the minimum p such that Kp → (F, H).
