We investigate the following problem of Erdős:

Determine the minimum number of k-cliques in a graph of order n with independence number [ges ] l.

We disprove the original conjecture of Erdős which was stated in 1962 for all but a finite number of pairs k, l, and give asymptotic estimates for l = 3, k [ges ] 4, and l = 4, k [ges ] 4.
