Abstract

We introduce and study a variant of Ramsey numbers for edge-ordered graphs, that is, graphs with linearly ordered sets of edges. The edge-ordered Ramsey number R_e(G) of an edge-ordered graph G is the minimum positive integer N such that there exists an edge-ordered complete graph K_N on N vertices such that every 2-coloring of the edges of K_N contains a monochromatic copy of G as an edge-ordered subgraph of K_N. We prove that the edge-ordered Ramsey number R_e(G) is finite for every edge-ordered graph G and we obtain better estimates for special classes of edge-ordered graphs. In particular, we prove R_e(G) <= 2^{O(n^3\log{n})} for every bipartite edge-ordered graph G on n vertices. We also introduce a natural class of edge-orderings, called \emph{lexicographic edge-orderings}, for which we can prove much better upper bounds on the corresponding edge-ordered Ramsey numbers.
