Abstract

Given graphs HH and FF, ex(n,H,F)\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F) denotes the largest number of copies of HH in FF-free nn-vertex graphs. Let χ(H)<χ(F)=r+1\chi(H)<\chi(F)=r+1. We say that HH is FF-Tur\'an-stable if the following holds. For any ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists δ>0\delta>0 such that if an nn-vertex FF-free graph GG contains at least ex(n,H,F)δnV(H)\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)-\delta n^{|V(H)|} copies of HH, then the edit distance of GG and the rr-partite Tur\'an graph is at most εn2\varepsilon n^2. We say that HH is weakly FF-Tur\'an-stable if the same holds with the Tur\'an graph replaced by any complete rr-partite graph TT. It is known that such stability implies exact results in several cases. We show that complete multipartite graphs with chromatic number at most rr are weakly Kr+1K_{r+1}-Tur\'an-stable. Answering a question of Morrison, Nir, Norin, Rza\.zewski and Wesolek positively, we show that for every graph HH, if rr is large enough, then HH is Kr+1K_{r+1}-Tur\'an-stable. Finally, we prove that if HH is bipartite, then it is weakly C2k+1C_{2k+1}-Tur\'an-stable for kk large enough.
