For a given connected graph G on n vertices and m edges, we prove that its independence number α(G) is at least ((2m+n+2) -((2m+n+2)2 -16n2 )½ )/8. Keywords : independence numbe...
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...
We study families of Boolean circuits with the property that the number of gates at distance t fanning into or out of any given gate in a circuit is bounded above by a polynomial ...
An orthogonal drawing of a graph is an embedding of the graph in the two-dimensional grid such that edges are routed along grid-lines. In this paper we explore lower bounds for or...
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)...
