Anti-Ramsey colorings in several rounds


For positive integers $k\le n$ and t let $\chi^t(k,n)$ denote the minimum number of colors such that at least in one of the tcolorings of edges of Kn all $k\choose 2$ edges of every $K_k\subseteq K_n$get different colors. Generalizing a result of Körner and Simonyi, it is shown in this paper that $\chi^t(3,n)=\Theta (n^{1/t})$. Also two-round colorings in cases k>3 are investigated. Tight bounds for $\chi ^2(k,n)$ for all values of k except for k=5 are obtained. Conversely, let t(k,n) denote the minimum number of colorings such that--having the same $k\choose 2$ colors in each coloring--at least in one of the total t colorings of Kn all $k\choose 2$ edges of every $K_k\subseteq K_n$ get different colors. It is also shown, that for k=n/2t(k,n) is exponentially large. Several related questions are investigated.
