Solving a problem of Alon, we prove that every graph G on n vertices with 6(G) 2 1 contains an induced subgraph H such that all the degrees in H are odd and 1 V(H)\ >(l -o(l))Jn/6.

Caro et al. proved that every tree of order n contains an induced subgraph of order at least rn/2] with all degrees odd, and conjectured a better bound. In this note we prove that every tree of order n contains an induced subgraph of order at least 2L(n + 1)/3 .] with all degrees odd; this bound is
We prove that, for integers n/>2 and k~>2, every tree with n vertices contains an induced subgraph of order at least 2/(n + 2k -3)/(2k -1)j with all degrees congruent to 1 modulo k. This extends a result of Radcliffe and Scott, and answers a question of Caro et al.
Graphs with n + k vertices in which every set of n +j vertices induce a subgraph of maximum degree at least n are considered. For j = 1 and for k fairly small compared to n, we determine the minimum number of edges in such graphs.
