Gyárfás and Sárközy's minimum-degree conjecture for monochromatic components
Fix . Let be a graph with vertices and minimum degree satisfying
If the edges of are -coloured, meaning that each edge receives one of colours, then Gyárfás and Sárközy's conjecture. there exists a monochromatic component of order at least
This conjecture asks how far the complete-graph result for -edge-colourings extends to graphs with large but not necessarily complete minimum degree. The source notes that Gyárfás and Sárközy had already proved the existence of some constant for which minimum degree at least suffices; the stated threshold and conclusion remain the conjectured sharp form.
