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...

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...

Independent sets in triangle-free cubic planar graphs
: We prove that every triangle-free planar graph on n vertices with maximum degree three has an independent set with size at least 3 8 n. This was suggested and later conjectured b...

On Constant Time Approximation of Parameters of Bounded Degree Graphs
How well can the maximum size of an independent set, or the minimum size of a dominating set of a graph in which all degrees are at most d be approximated by a randomized constant...
