<![CDATA[Burger and Vuuren defined the size multipartite Ramsey number for a pair of complete, balanced, multipartite graphs mj(Kaxb,Kcxd), for natural numbers a,b,c,d and j, where a,c >= 2, in 2004. They have also determined the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of size multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(Kaxb,Kcxd). Syafrizal et al. generalized this definition by removing the completeness requirement. For simple graphs G and H, they defined the size multipartite Ramsey number mj(G,H) as the smallest natural number t such that any red-blue coloring on the edges of Kjxt contains a red G or a blue H as a subgraph. In this paper, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(G,H), where both G and H are non complete graphs. Furthermore, we determine the exact values of the size multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,m, K1,n) for all integers m,n >= 1 and j = 2,3, where K1,m is a star of order m+1. In addition, we also determine the lower bound of m3(kK1,m, C3), where kK1,m is a disjoint union of k copies of a star K1,m and C3 is a cycle of order 3.]]>
