Abstract
In this paper a concept Q -Ramsey Class of graphs is introduced, where Q is a class of bipartite graphs. It is a generalization of well-known concept of Ramsey Class of graphs. Some Q -Ramsey Classes of graphs are presented (Theorem 1 and 2). We proved that T 2, the class of all outerplanar graphs, is not D 1-Ramsey Class (Theorem 3). This results leads us to the concept of acyclic reducible bounds for a hereditary property P . For T 2 we found two bounds (Theorem 4). An improvement, in some sense, of that in Theorem is given.Keywords: hereditary property, acyclic colouring, Ramsey class.
