Maximum genus and maximum nonseparating independent set of a 3-regular graph

open access: yes, 1997
A set J ⊆ V is called a nonseparating independent set (nsis) of a connected graph G = (V, E), if J is an independent set of G, i.e., E ∩ {uv | ∀u, v ∈ J} = 0, and G − J is connected. We call z(G) = maxJ{|J||J is an nsis of G} the nsis number of G.

Using Critical Sets for the Maximum Independent Set Problem Solving

open access: yes, 2008
The problem of finding a maximum independent set in an undirected graph is a well known NP-hard problem. On the other hand, the critical independent set problem is polynomially solvable. The relationship between these two problems is studied and a method

Maximum Independent Set of a Permutation Graph in K Tracks

open access: yes, 2014
A maximum weighted independent set of a permutation graph is a maximum subset of noncrossing chords in a matching diagram (i.e., a set \Phi of chords with end-points on two horizontal lines).

Quantum Hamiltonian algorithms for maximum independent sets

open access: yesNational Science Review
ABSTRACT We compare two quantum Hamiltonian algorithms that address the maximum independent set problem: one based on the emergent non-Abelian gauge matrix in adiabatic evolution of an energetically isolated manifold of states; the other based on designed application of single-qubit operations. We demonstrate that they are mathematically

Maximum independent sets near the upper bound [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Applied Mathematics, 2019
The size of a largest independent set of vertices in a given graph $G$ is denoted by $α(G)$ and is called its independence number (or stability number). Given a graph $G$ and an integer $K,$ it is NP-complete to decide whether $α(G) \geq K.$ An upper bound for the independence number $α(G)$ of a given graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m $ edges is given

Surface- Based Computing Model of Maximum Independent Set Problem

open access: yes, 2011
About thirty years ago, the concept of the complexity of the problem was proposed. The most important complex class is P and NP class. Fruitful results of this concept are the existence of the so-called complex class complete problem. If the other issues

A Characterization of Trees for a New Lower Bound on the K-Independence Number

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2013
Let k be a positive integer and G = (V,E) a graph of order n. A subset S of V is a k-independent set of G if the maximum degree of the subgraph induced by the vertices of S is less or equal to k − 1. The maximum cardinality of a k-independent set of G is

Boosting Local Search for the Maximum Independent Set Problem

open access: yes, 2016
An independent set of a graph G = (V, E) with vertices V and edges E is a subset S ⊆ V, such that the subgraph induced by S does not contain any edges. The goal of the maximum independent set problem (MIS problem) is to find an independent set of maximum

On hitting all maximum cliques with an independent set [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, 2010
We prove that every graph $G$ for which $ω(G) \geq 3/4(Δ(G) + 1)$, has an independent set $I$ such that $ω(G - I) < ω(G)$. It follows that a minimum counterexample $G$ to Reed's conjecture satisfies $ω(G) < 3/4(Δ(G) + 1)$ and hence also $χ(G) > \lceil 7/6ω(G) \rceil$.
