Let G be a graph with n vertices and independence number . Hadwiger's conjecture implies that G contains a clique minor of order at least n/. In 1982, Duchet and Meyniel prov...

We prove that if G = (VG, EG) is a finite, simple, and undirected graph with κ components and independence number α(G), then there exist a positive integer k ∈ N and a functi...

A graph G on n vertices is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle of length n and pancyclic if it contains cycles of length for all 3 ≤ ≤ n. Write α(G) for the independence numbe...

If f(m, n) is the (vertex) independence number of the m × n grid graph, then we show that the double limit η = def limm,n→∞ f(m, n) 1 mn exists, thereby refining earlier res...

The independence numbers of powers of graphs have been long studied, under several definitions of graph products, and in particular, under the strong graph product. We show that t...

For a non-negative integer T, we prove that the independence number of a graph G = (V, E) in which every vertex belongs to at most T triangles is at least uV f(d(u), T) where d(u)...
