We solve a problem posed by Ronald Graham about the minimum number, over all
2-colorings of $[1,n]$, of monochromatic $(x,y,x+ay)$ triples, $a \geq 2$. We
show that the minimum number of such triples is $\frac{n^2}{2a(a^2+2a+3)} +
O(n)$. We also find a new upper bound for the minimum number, over all
$r$-colorings of $[1,n]$, of monochromatic Schur triples, for $r \geq 3$.

A 2-coloring of $[1,n]$ can have $\frac{n^2}{2a(a^2+2a+3)} + O(n)$ monochromatic triples of the form $\{x,y,x+ay\}, a \geq 2$, but not less! does not yet have a rating. At this time, there are no reviews or comments for this scientific paper.
If you have personal experience with A 2-coloring of $[1,n]$ can have $\frac{n^2}{2a(a^2+2a+3)} + O(n)$ monochromatic triples of the form $\{x,y,x+ay\}, a \geq 2$, but not less!, we encourage you to share that experience with our LandOfFree.com community. Your opinion is very important and A 2-coloring of $[1,n]$ can have $\frac{n^2}{2a(a^2+2a+3)} + O(n)$ monochromatic triples of the form $\{x,y,x+ay\}, a \geq 2$, but not less! will most certainly appreciate the feedback.
