A graph G is called ( H ; k ) ‐ vertex stable if G contains a subgraph isomorphic to H even after removing any k of its vertices. By stab ( H ; k ) we denote the minimum size among the sizes of all ( H ; k ) ‐vertex stable graphs. Given an integer q ≥ 2 , we prove that, apart of some small values of k , stab ( K q ; k ) = ( 2 q − 3 ) ( k + 1 ) . This confirms in the affirmative the conjecture of Dudek et al. [Discuss Math Graph Theory 28(1) (2008), 137–149]. Furthermore, we characterize the extremal graphs.
