DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring developed recently by Dvořák and Postle. We introduce and study (i, j)-defective DP-colorings of simple graphs. Let g DP (i, j, n) be the minimum number of edges in an n-vertex DP-(i, j)-critical graph. In this paper we determine sharp bound on g DP (i, j, n) for each i ≥ 3 and j ≥ 2i + 1 for infinitely many n.
