Let F and G be finite connected graphs. The Ramsey number r(F,G) is defined to be the smallest integer r so that, if the edges of the complete graph on r vertices are colored with two colors, then either there is a copy of F with all of its edges colored with the first or a copy of G colored with the second color. Fix F and define G to be F-good if r(F,G) = (\chi (F)-1)(p(G)-1)+s(F), where \chi(F) is the vertex chromatic number of F, p(G) is the number of vertices of G and s(F) is the smallest number of vertices in some color class of F, under all \chi(F) vertex colorings of F. Let F be a complete bipartite graph. This paper gives conditions on a graph G under which it will be F-good.
