Stability with few forbidden copies #
This combines the graph removal lemma with Erdős–Simonovits stability. The graph is allowed to contain a small positive density of labelled copies of the forbidden graph.

If H is (p + 1)-colourable, a graph with nearly the Turán number of edges and sufficiently
few labelled copies of H is close to a complete p-partite graph.
