A graph is well covered if every maximal independent set has the same cardinality. A vertex \(x\), in a well covered graph \(G\), is called extendable if \(G-\{x\}\) is well covered and \(\beta(G)=\beta(G-\{x\})\). If \(G\) is a connected, well covered graph of girth \(\geqslant 5\) and \(G\) contai

The class of Z m -well-covered graphs, those in which the cardinality of every maximal independent subset of vertices is congruent to the same number modulo m, contains the well-covered graphs as well as parity graphs. Here we consider such graphs, where there is no small cycle present and obtain a
## Abstract A graph is well covered if every maximal independent set has the same cardinality. A vertex __x__, in a wellβcovered graph __G__, is called extendable if __G β {x}__ is well covered and Ξ²(__G__) = Ξ²(__G β {x}__). If __G__ is a connected, wellβcovered graph containing no 4β nor 5βcycles
