Abstract

Let H be a 3-uniform hypergraph. The multicolor Ramsey number rk(H) is the smallest integer n such that every coloring of \binom[n]3 with k colors has a monochromatic copy of H. Let L be the loose 3-uniform path with 3 edges and M denote the messy 3-uniform path with 3 edges; that is, let L = \abc, cde, efg\ and M = \ abc, bcd, def\. In this note we prove rk(L) < 1.54k and rk(M) < 1.6k for k sufficiently large.
