This book is intended to provide graduate students and researchers
in graph theory with an overview of the elementary methods of graph
Ramsey theory. It is especially targeted towards graduate students
in extremal graph theory, graph Ramsey theory, and related fields,
as the included contents allow the text to be used in seminars. It
is structured in thirteen chapters which are application-focused
and largely independent, enabling readers to target specific topics
and information to focus their study. The first chapter includes a
true beginner's overview of elementary examples in graph Ramsey
theory mainly using combinatorial methods. The following chapters
progress through topics including the probabilistic methods,
algebraic construction, regularity method, but that's not all. Many
related interesting topics are also included in this book, such as
the disproof for a conjecture of Borsuk on geometry, intersecting
hypergraphs, Turan numbers and communication channels, etc.
In human communication, sending an unclear message is often
regarded as failure or impoliteness. Nevertheless, it is not always
the case that those who make explicit statements are the most
successful communicators. Equivocal communication is widely
employed by modern politicians, and it can also be possible to
extend its scope further, to communication between nations. In this
book, Bavelas et al.'s theory of equivocation is applied to analyze
nine public texts (1979 - 2000) concerning the discussion of
national reunification between Taiwan and Mainland China as their
political communication is not normally conducted clearly and
directly. A comparison will also be made between western societies
and eastern societies to explore their different attitudes towards
equivocation. The analysis should be especially useful to
professionals in Communications and Social Psychology fields, or
anyone else who may be considering utilizing ambiguity strategies
for political diplomacy.
