We prove a stability result for maximal Kr+1-free graphs. More precisely, let G be a maximal Kr+1-free graph whose number of edges is at most m away from the maximum possible in any Kr+1-free graph. We determine a function f(n) such that if m=o(f(n)), then G necessarily contains an induced complete r-partite subgraph which nearly spans the entire vertex set. We also provide constructions showing that this function f is best possible. This work resolves questions of Tyomkyn and Uzzell.

Joint with Kamil Popielarz and Julian Sahasrabudhe.
