Caro (1979) and Wei (1981) established a bound on the size of an independent set of a graph as a function of its degrees. In case the degrees of each vertex's neighbors are also known, we establish a lower bound which is tighter for most graphs.

Let \_(n, m, k) be the largest number \_ # [0, 1] such that any graph on n vertices with independence number at most m has a subgraph on k vertices with at lest \_ } ( k 2 ) edges. Up to a constant multiplicative factor, we determine \_(n, m, k) for all n, m, k. For log n m=k n, our result gives \_(
We give an upper bound on the chromatic number of a graph in terms of its maximum degree and the size of the largest complete subgraph. Our result extends a theorem due to i3rook.s.

The bondage number b(G) of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a set of edges of G whose removal from G results in a graph with domination number larger than that of G. Several new sharp upper bounds for b(G) are established. In addition, we present an infinite class of graphs each of whose bond
