A method that utilizes the polynomially solvable critical independent set problem for solving the maximum independent set problem on graphs with a nonempty critical independent se...
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...

Let G be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges. Let ω(G) and α(G) be the numbers of vertices of the largest clique and the largest independent set in G, respectively. In th...
: Let G be a graph on n vertices in which every induced subgraph on s = log3 n vertices has an independent set of size at least t = log n. What is the largest q = q(n) so that ever...
ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...
