## Abstract A maximal independent set of a graph __G__ is an independent set that is not contained properly in any other independent set of __G__. Let __i(G)__ denote the number of maximal independent sets of __G__. Here, we prove two conjectures, suggested by P. Erdös, that the maximum number of m
