Nov 22, 2019 at 17:17 comment added Taras Banakh @WillBrian Oh, sorry! I made a mistake thinking that there are two triangles (with vertices $(1,i)$ and $(2,i)$ for $i\in\{1,2,3\}$, but there are edges between these triabgkes, so they are not disjoint).
Nov 22, 2019 at 13:10 comment added Will Brian @TarasBanakh: I cannot find the copy of $K_{3,3}$ you're referring to. Would you mind pointing it out more explicitly, perhaps by listing the coordinates?
Nov 22, 2019 at 5:02 comment added Wlod AA I hope that I clarified my Question. (Did I?)

Clearer (?)
Nov 21, 2019 at 23:56 comment added Wlod AA @TarasBanakh, thank you -- done.

A quote from Taras Banakh
Nov 21, 2019 at 3:24 comment added Taras Banakh @WlodAA Of course, you can!
Nov 21, 2019 at 0:41 comment added Wlod AA Everybody who has partial answers, I encourage you to post them as Answers. This way you will stimulate the progress -- in real-time -- for the given topic. Somehow, one reacts to Answers stronger than to comments.
Nov 21, 2019 at 0:37 comment added Wlod AA @TarasBanakh, may I quote your useful comment about $R(5\,5)$ in my Question ?
Nov 20, 2019 at 17:16 comment added Wlod AA I have to rush now, am about to play in the last round of a local senior chess tournament (I am 3:0 and will play against the other highest scorer, who has 2.5pts). I'll see you later.
Nov 20, 2019 at 14:33 comment added Will Brian It's not enough for an answer, but I can show $13 \leq \mathrm{RK}_{xx}$. To see this, we need a $2$-coloring of the edges of $K_{12}$ that avoids any monochromatic copies of $K_5$ or $K_{3,3}$. To get one, just label the vertices with ordered pairs $(a,b)$ such that $a \in \{1,2,3\}$ and $b \in \{1,2,3,4\}$, and then put an edge between two vertices iff either their first coordinates are equal or their second coordinates are equal.
Nov 20, 2019 at 14:14 comment added Fedor Petrov @TarasBanakh why should it be the same? Non-planarity is implied by a homeomorphic copy of $K_5$ or $K_{3,3}$, not isomorphic.
Nov 20, 2019 at 13:45 comment added Taras Banakh @WlodAA What about this form of the question: find the smallest $n$ such that for any graph $\Gamma$ on $n$ vertices either $\Gamma$ or the complement of $\Gamma$ in $K_n$ is non-planar. Is this the same as your $RK_{xx}$?
Nov 20, 2019 at 13:33 comment added Taras Banakh @WlodAA The problem with the current formulation is that if you have a monochrome $K_6$, then you also have a monochrome $K_{3,3}$. But I suggest that asking the question you had in mind something different: there exists a copy of $K_6$ whose red colored edges (say) form a subgraph isomorphic to $K_{3,3}$ (and then green colored edges form two disjoint copies of $K_3$). So, which version of the question had you in mind?
Nov 20, 2019 at 8:57 comment added Wlod AA @IlyaBogdanov, I mean that each of the graphs $\,K_{3\,3}\, $ and $\,K_5\,$ should have edges of one color (all $9$ edges of $\,K_{3\,3}\,$ should be of the same color). How should I write it more clearly? You're welcome to try your hand at editing my Q.
Nov 20, 2019 at 8:46 comment added Ilya Bogdanov I think @Taras's question addresses the word "induce". When you get a monocolor $K_{3,3}$, do you insist to have all other edges between the six vertices to have the other color? If not, it is better to replace 'induce' by some other word.
Nov 20, 2019 at 8:27 comment added Wlod AA @TarasBanakh, your comment about $K_{3,3}$, I don't understand (of course edges of $\,K_6\,$ cannot be two-colored).
Nov 20, 2019 at 8:08 comment added Taras Banakh Observe that $RK_{xx}\le R(5,5)\le 48. The is a conjecture that R(5,5)=43.
Nov 20, 2019 at 7:45 comment added Taras Banakh I hope the graph $K_{3,3}$ should be defined as a suitably two-colored $K_6$.
