In this paper we give lower bounds on the size of $(a,b)$ elementary trappingsets (ETSs) belonging to variable-regular LDPC codes with any girth, $g$, andirregular ones with girth 8, where $a$ is the size, $b$ is the number ofdegree-one check nodes and satisfy the inequality $\frac{b}{a}<1$. Our proposedlower bounds are analytical, rather than exhaustive search-based, and based ongraph theories. The numerical results in the literarture for $g=6,8$ forvariable-regular LDPC codes match our results. Some of our investigations areindependent of the girth and rely on the variables $a$, $b$ and $\gamma$, thecolumn weight value, only. We prove that for an ETS belonging to avariable-regular LDPC code with girth 8 we have $a\geq2\gamma-1$ and$b\geq\gamma$. We demonstrate that these lower bounds are tight, making use ofthem we provide a method to achieve the minimum size of ETSs belonging toirregular LDPC codes with girth 8 specially those whose column weight valuesare a subset of $\{2,3,4,5,6\}$. Moreover, we show for variable-regular LDPCcodes with girth 10, $a\geq(\gamma-1)^2+1$. And for $\gamma=3,4$ we obtain$a\geq7$ and $a\geq12$, respectively. Finally, for variable-regular LDPC codeswith girths $g=2(2k+1)$ and $g=2(2k+2)$ we obtain $a\geq(\gamma-2)^k+1$ and$a\geq2(\gamma-2)^k+1$, respectively.
