For every fixed integers r, s satisfying 2 ≤ r < s there exists some ¿ = ¿(r, s) > 0 for which we construct explicitly an infinite family of graphs H r,s,n , where H r,s,n has n vertices, contains no clique on s vertices and every subset of at least n 1-¿ of its vertices contains a clique of size r. The constructions are based on spectral and geometric techniques, some properties of Finite Geometries and certain isoperimetric inequalities.
