The independence number in graphs of maximum degree three
We prove that a K4-free graph G of order n, size m and maximum degree at most three has an independent set of cardinality at least 1 7 (4n - m - - tr) where counts the number of c...

Approximation Algorithms for the Weighted Independent Set Problem
In unweighted case, approximation ratio for the independent set problem has been analyzed in terms of the graph parameters, such as the number of vertices, maximum degree, and aver...

Improved Approximations of Independent Sets in Bounded-Degree Graphs
Abstract. Finding maximum independent sets in graphs with bounded maximum degree is a well-studied NP-complete problem. We introduce an algorithm schema for improving the approxim...

PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...
