The triangle embedding lemma for regular pairs states that if , the three pairs among disjoint nonempty sets are -uniform, and all three densities are at least , then the graph contains a triangle with one vertex in each set.
In an -uniform pair of density , fewer than vertices of have fewer than neighbours in ; otherwise those vertices and would violate uniformity. Apply this observation to and . Since , choose that is typical for both pairs. Then
satisfy and . Uniformity of gives
Thus some joins to , and is the required triangle.
