We prove that if s and t are positive integers and if G is a triangle-free graph with minimum degree s + t, then the vertex set of G has a decomposition into two sets which induce subgraphs of minimum degree at least s and t, respectively.

## Abstract Let __C__ be the class of triangle‐free graphs with maximum degree at most three. A lower bound for the number of edges in a graph of __C__ is derived in terms of the number of vertices and the independence. Several classes of graphs for which this bound is attained are given. As coroll
Let G be a triangle-free, loopless graph with maximum degree three. We display a polynomi$ algorithm which returns a bipartite subgraph of G containing at least 5 of the edges of G. Furthermore, we characterize the dodecahedron and the Petersen graph as the only 3-regular, triangle-free, loopless, c
We investigate whether K,-free graphs with few repetitions in the degree sequence may have independence number o(n). We settle the cases r = 3 and r >/5, and give partial results for the very interesting case r=4. In an earlier article I-4] it is shown that triangle-free graphs in which no term of
