Abstract

We show the minimum number of vertices necessary of a complete Gallai-colored graph on $k$ colors that forces a monochromatic complete bipartite graph $K_{2,m}$, $K_{3,3}$, and $K_{3,m}$, for $m\geq 3$. We also provide some results on graphs that are free of rainbow triangles with a pendant edge that provide more insight to the structure of Gallai colorings.
