Given a sequence of natural numbers and a graph G, let denote the number of colourings of the edges of G with colours , such that, for every , the edges of colour c contain no clique of order . Write to denote the maximum of over all graphs G on n vertices. This problem was first considered by Erdős and Rothschild in 1974, but it has been solved only for a very small number of nontrivial cases. In previous work with Pikhurko and Yilma, (Math. Proc. Cambridge Phil. Soc. 163 (2017), 341–356), we constructed a finite optimisation problem whose maximum is equal to the limit of as n tends to infinity and proved a stability theorem for complete multipartite graphs G. In this paper, we provide a sufficient condition on which guarantees a general stability theorem for any graph G, describing the asymptotic structure of G on n vertices with in terms of solutions to the optimisation problem. We apply our theorem to systematically recover existing stability results as well as all cases with . The proof uses a version of symmetrisation on edge-coloured weighted multigraphs.
