| Abstract | We present a feasibly constructive proof that R(3,t) > 5((t-1)/2)(superscript (log4/log3)) Element Omega (t(superscript 1.26)). This is, as far as we know, the first constructive superlinear lower bound for R(3,t). Also, our result yields the first feasible method for constructing triangle-free k-chromatic graphs that are polynomial-size in k. |
