Abstract:
The Ramsey number n=R(G,H) has been defined as the minimum n such that every 2-coloring (red and green) of the edges of the complete graph Kn has a red subgraph G, or a green subgraph H.By constructing cyclic colorings systematically with the help of a microcomputer, it is proved that R(K3,K11-e)>=42, R(K3,K13-e)>=54, R(K3,K14-e)>=59, R(K3,K15-e)>=69.

Key words:
Ramsey number; lower bound; cyclic coloring
