 Solution

For disjoint nonempty sets $X,Y$, let $e(X,Y)$ count edges between them. Their edge density isThe pair is $\epsilon$-regular if every $A\subseteq X$ and $B\subseteq Y$ with $|A|\ge \epsilon |X|$, $|B|\ge \epsilon |Y|$ satisfies $|d(A,B)-d(X,Y)|\le \epsilon$.

An $\epsilon$-regular partition has disjoint classes $V_0,V_1,\dots ,V_k$ covering $V(G)$, with $|V_0|\le \epsilon |V(G)|$, equal positive sizes $|V_1|=\cdots =|V_k|$, and at most $\epsilon k^2$ unordered pairs $(V_i,V_j)$ with $1\le i<j\le k$ that are not $\epsilon$-regular. The set $V_0$ is exceptional and its pairs need not satisfy regularity.

Szemerédi regularity lemma states that for every $\epsilon >0$ and integer $m_0\ge 1$, there are integers $M,n_0$ such that every graph with $n\ge n_0$ vertices has such a partition withThe bounds depend on $\epsilon ,m_0$, not on the graph order. Using a strict regularity inequality or a slightly different constant in the allowed pair count gives an equivalent conventional version; the displayed convention will be used below.
