Abstract

In 1990, Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp proved that for k ≥ 2 every graph with n ≥ k+1 vertices and (formula presented) edges contains a subgraph of minimum degree k on at most (formula presented) vertices. They conjectured that it is possible to remove at least εkn many vertices and remain with a subgraph of minimum degree k, for some εk > 0. We make progress towards their conjecture by showing that one can remove at least Ω(n/log n) many vertices.
