Critical graphs for R(P_n,P_m) and the star-critical Ramsey number for paths

The graph Ramsey number R(G,H) is the smallest integer r such that every 2-coloring of the edges of Kr contains either a red copy of G or a blue copy of H. The star-critical Ramsey number r∗(G,H) is the smallest integer k such that every 2-coloring of the edges of Kr − K1,r−1−k contains either a red copy of G or a blue copy of H. We will classify the critical graphs, 2-colorings of the complete graph on R(G,H) − 1 vertices with no red G or blue H, for the path-path Ramsey number. This classification will be used in the proof of r∗(Pn, Pm)
