Abstract
Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the sub-Ramsey number sr(G, k) is defined to be the minimum number m such that every Km whose edges are colored using every color at most k times contains a subgraph isomorphic to G all of whose edges have distinct colors. In this paper, we will concentrate on sr(nK2, k) with nK2 denoting a matching of size n. We first give upper and lower bounds for sr(nK2, k) and exact values of sr(nK2, k) for some n and k. Afterwards, we show that sr(nK2, k) = 2 n when n is sufficiently large and k<n8 by applying the Local Lemma.
