## 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.__ In this paper, we determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets among all bipartite graphs of order __n__ and the extremal graphs as well as
Let n and k be positive integers satisfying k + 1 s n s 3k -1, and G a simple graph of order n and size e(G) with at most k edge-disjoint paths connecting any two adjacent vertices. In this paper we prove that e(G) s l(n + k)\*/8], and give complete characterizations of the extremal graphs and the e
This paper introduces two kinds of graph polynomials, clique polynomial and independent set polynomial. The paper focuses on expansions of these polynomials. Some open problems are mentioned.
## Abstract We obtain lower bounds on the size of a maximum matching in a graph satisfying the condition |__N(X)__| ≥ __s__ for every independent set __X__ of __m__ vertices, thus generalizing results of Faudree, Gould, Jacobson, and Schelp for the case __m__ = 2.
