Shor’s bounds for the weighted independence number
Application of a technique of dual Lagrangian quadratic bounds of N.Z. Shor to studying the Maximum Weighted Independent Set problem is described. By the technique, two such N.Z. Shor’s upper bounds are obtained.

On the k-Component Independence Number of a Tree
Let G be a graph and k≥1 be an integer. A subset S of vertices in a graph G is called a k-component independent set of G if each component of GS has order at most k.

On the Independence Number of Cayley Digraphs of Clifford Semigroups
Let S be a Clifford semigroup and A a subset of S. We write Cay(S,A) for the Cayley digraph of a Clifford semigroup S relative to A. The (weak, path, weak path) independence number of a graph is the maximum cardinality of an (weakly, path, weakly path ...

On the independence numbers of a matroid
Given a finite subset E of a vector space of dimension 4. The number of k-independent subsets of E will be denoted by \(I_ k\). We prove that k \(I^ 2_ k\geq (k+1)I_{k-1}I_{k+1}+I_{k-1}I_ k\). The equality holds if and only if all 4-subsets of E are independent. We prove this relation for matroids of rank 4. In particular we prove Mason's conjecture on

The fractional chromatic number of triangle-free subcubic graphs [PDF]
Heckman and Thomas conjectured that the fractional chromatic number of any triangle-free subcubic graph is at most 14 / 5. Improving on estimates of Hatami and Zhu and of Lu and Peng, we prove that the fractional chromatic number of any triangle-free ...

Further Results on Packing Related Parameters in Graphs
Given a graph G = (V, E), a set B ⊆ V (G) is a packing in G if the closed neighborhoods of every pair of distinct vertices in B are pairwise disjoint. The packing number ρ(G) of G is the maximum cardinality of a packing in G. Similarly, open packing sets

Semi Square Stable Graphs and Efficient Dominating Sets [PDF]
A graph $G$ is called semi square stable if $\alpha (G^{2})=i(G)$ where $%\alpha (G^{2})$ is the independence number of $G^{2}$ and $i(G)$ is the independent dominating number of $G$.

Computing Tree Decompositions with Small Independence Number [PDF]
The independence number of a tree decomposition is the maximum of the independence numbers of the subgraphs induced by its bags. The tree-independence number of a graph is the minimum independence number of a tree decomposition of it.
