For a graph \(G\) and a positive integer \(n\), the anti-Ramsey number \(ar(n,G)\) is the maximum number of colors in an edge-coloring of \(K_n\) with no rainbow copy of \(H\). Anti-Ramsey numbers were introduced by Erdȍs, Simonovits and Sós and studied in numerous papers. Let \(G\) be a graph with anti-Ramsey number \(ar(n,G)\). In this paper we show the lower bound for \(ar(n,pG)\), where \(pG\) denotes \(p\) vertex-disjoint copies of \(G\). Moreover, we prove that in some special cases this bound is sharp.", keywords = "anti-Ramsey number, rainbow number, disjoint copies", issn = "1232-9274" }
