The Ramsey numbers for trees of large maximum degree versus the wheel graph \(W_8\). (English) Zbl 07896531

Summary: The Ramsey numbers \(R(T_n, W_8)\) are determined for each tree graph \(T_n\) of order \(n \geq 7\) and maximum degree \(\Delta (T_n)\) equal to either \(n-4\) or \(n-5\). These numbers indicate strong support for the conjecture, due to Y. Chen et al. [Appl. Math. Lett. 17, No. 3, 281–285 (2004; Zbl 1055.05104)] and to Y. Hafidh and E. T. Baskoro [Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc. (2) 44, No. 4, 2151–2160 (2021; Zbl 1470.05111)], that \(R(T_n, W_m) = 2n-1\) for each tree graph \(T_n\) of order \(n \geq m-1\) with \(\Delta (T_n) \leq n-m+2\) when \(m \geq 4\) is even.
