Abstract
Consider a family of chords in a circle. A circle graph is obtained by representing each chord by a vertex, two vertices being connected by an edge when the corresponding chords intersect. In this paper, we describe efficient algorithms for finding a maximum clique and a maximum independent set of circle graphs. These algorithms require at most n^3^ steps, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

We present a simple optimal algorithm for the problem of finding maximum independent sets of circular-arc graphs. Given an intersection model S of a circular-arc graph G , our algorithm computes a maximum independent set of G in O ( n ) space and O ( n ) or O(n log n ) time, depending on whether the
Rabern recently proved that any graph with โฅ 3 4 ( +1) contains a stable set meeting all maximum cliques. We strengthen this result, proving that such a stable set exists for any graph with > 2 3 ( +1). This is tight, i.e. the inequality in the statement must be strict. The proof relies on finding a
