Consider the integer linear equation $\sum_{i=1}^{n} c_ix_i=0$, where $c_i(\ne 0) \in Z$$c_i(\ne 0) \in \mathbb{Z}$. Supposing it is given that there is a natural number N$N$ such that, if {1,2...N}$\{1,2, \dots, N\}$ is partitioned in two sets, one of these always contains a solution of the equation. The minimal such N$N$ is called the Rado number of the equation. I am looking for general bounds on such N$N$, in the cases where it exists. Where can I possibly find such results. Thanks.
Added Ramsey theory tag; Rado/Schur numbers are about Ramsey theory on the integers.
