Erdös and Hajnal [1] have introduced an edge partition relation for graphs

(1)

which means that whenever the edges of G are separated into two sets, E1 and E2, there exists a subgraph G’ of G such that G’ is isomorphic to Hi and the edges of G’ are all in Ei. for i = 1 or 2. A class of graphs has the G-R (Galvin-Ramsey) property [2] if for each H in there exists a G in which satisfies G→(H,H).
