    For graphs FF and GG, let Fβ†’(G,G)F\to (G,G) signify that any red/blue edge coloring of FF contains a monochromatic GG. Define Folkman number f(G;p)f(G;p) to be the smallest order of a graph FF such that Fβ†’(G,G)F\to (G,G) and Ο‰(F)≀p\omega(F) \le p. It is shown that f(G;p)≀cnf(G;p)\le cn for graphs GG of order nn with Ξ”(G)≀Δ\Delta(G)\le \Delta, where Ξ”β‰₯3\Delta\ge 3, c=c(Ξ”)c=c(\Delta) and p=p(Ξ”)p=p(\Delta) are positive constants.Comment: 11 page
