Abstract: For each $rge4$, we show that any graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $(1-1/100r)|G|$ has a fractional $K_r$-decomposition. This improves the best previous bounds on the minimum degree required to guarantee a fractional $K_r$-decomposition given by Dukes (for small $r$) and Barber, K"uhn, Lo, Montgomery and Osthus (for large $r$), giving the first bound that is tight up to the constant multiple of $r$ (seen, for example, by considering Tur'an graphs). In combination with work by Glock, K"uhn, Lo, Montgomery and Osthus, this shows that, for any graph $F$ with chromatic number $chi(F)ge4$, and any $varepsilon>0$, any sufficiently large graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $(1-1/100chi(F)+varepsilon)|G|$ has, subject to some further simple necessary divisibility conditions, an (exact) $F$-decomposition.
