Abstract

For two given graphs G1and G2, the Ramsey number R (G1, G2) is the smallest integer n such that for any graph G of order n, either G contains G1or the complement of G contains G2. Let Cndenote a cycle of order n and Wma wheel of order m + 1. Surahmat, Baskoro and Tomescu conjectured that R (Cn, Wm) = 3 n - 2 for m odd, n ≥ m ≥ 3 and (n, m) ≠ (3, 3). In this paper, we confirm the conjecture for n ≥ 20.
