## 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

β¦ Synopsis
Let G be a balanced bipartite graph of order 2n and minimum degree 6(G)>~3. If, for every balanced independent set S of four vertices, IN(S)I >n then G is traceable, the circumference is at least 2n -2 and G contains a 2-factor (with only small order exceptional graphs for the latter statement). If the neighborhood union condition is replaced by IN(S)I >n + 2 then G is hamiltonian.

This paper presents polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the problem of computing a maximum independent set in a given map graph G with or without weights on its vertices. If G is given together with a map, then a ratio of 1 + Ξ΄ can be achieved by a quadratic-time algorithm for any given con
## Abstract We show that a set __M__ of __m__ edges in a cyclically (3__m__βββ2)βedgeβconnected cubic bipartite graph is contained in a 1βfactor whenever the edges in __M__ are pairwise distance at least __f__(__m__) apart, where Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 55: 112β120, 2007
