The vertex Folkman number F(r,n,m), n<m, is the smallest integer t such that there exists a Km-free graph of order t with the property that every r-coloring of its vertices yields a monochromatic copy of Kn. The problem of bounding the Folkman numbers has been studied by several authors. However, in the most restrictive case, when m=n+1, no polynomial bound has been known for such numbers. In this paper we show that the vertex Folkman numbers F(r,n,n+1) are bounded from above by O(n2log4n). Furthermore, for any fixed r and any small ε>0 we derive the linear upper bound when the cliques bigger than (2+ε)n are forbidden.
