Elementary proofs are presented for two graph theoretic results, originally proved by H. Shirazi and J. Verstraëte using the combinatorial Nullstellensatz. In an undirected graph G = (V, E) we denote by dG(v) the degree of v ∈ V . If F (v) ⊆ N is a set of forbidden degrees for every v ∈ V , then a subgraph G = (V, E) of G is called F -avoiding if dG′(v) / ∈ F (v) for all v ∈ V . Theorem 1 (Shir...
