A graphH isd-degenerate if every subgraph of it contains a vertex of degree smaller thand. For a graphG, letad(G) denote the maximum number of vertices of an inducedd-degenerate subgraph ofG. Sharp lowers bounds forad(G) in terms of the degree sequence ofG are obtained, and the minimum number of edges of a graphG withn vertices anda2(G) = m is determined precisely for allm = n.
