### RAMSEY NUMBERS OF A CYCLE

Yusheng Li

#### Abstract

We sketch the ideas in the proofs of results on Ramsey numbers of a cycle, particularly in many colors, in which one is due to professor Ko-Wei Lih and the author for the right order of magnitude of Ramsey number $r_k(C_{2m})$ as $k\to\infty$ for $m=2,3,5$.
