ABSTRACT: Let G(n, c/n) and Gr(n) be an n-node sparse random graph and a sparse random rregular graph, respectively, and let I(n, r) and I(n, c) be the sizes of the largest indepen...
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...
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...
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...
