摘要
We prove that for every 4-coloring of (1, 2,..., n), with each color class having cardinality more than (n + 1)/6, there exists a solution of the equation x + y = z + w) with x, y, z and w belonging to different color classes. The lower bound on a color class cardinality is tight. (C) 2007 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
