Description

### What is the conjecture

https://www.erdosproblems.com/561

Let $\hat{R}(G)$ denote the size Ramsey number, the minimal number of edges $m$ such that there is a graph $H$ with $m$ edges such that in any $2$-colouring of the edges of $H$ there is a monochromatic copy of $G$.

Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the union of stars. More precisely, let $F_1=\cup_{i\leq s} K_{1,n_i}$ and $F_2=\cup_{j\leq t} K_{1,m_j}$. Prove that
$$\hat{R}(F_1,F_2) = \sum_{2\leq k\leq s+2}\max\\{n_i+m_j-1 : i+j=k\\}.$$
