Algorithmic evaluation of Ramsey numbers

Public

Ramsey Theory states that there exists a Ramsey Number. This number is the minimum number of nodes needed to guarantee that no matter how the edges of a complete graph of that order are two-colored, that there is a monochromatic subgraph, or clique, of either of the two colors. This project evaluates methods for finding Ramsey Numbers, a process that is NP complete. The goal of this project is to prove that R(5,5) is greater than 20.
