This paper shows that both the nonseparating independent set problem and feedback set problem can be solved in polynomial time for graphs with no vertex degree exceeding 3 by reducing the problems to the matroid parity problem.
Let G be an undirected connected graph with n nodes. A subset F of nodes of G is a feedback vertex set (fvs) if G -F is a forest and a subset J of nodes of G is a nonseparating independent set (nsis) if no two nodes of J are adjacent and G -J is connected. f(G), z ( G ) denote the cardinalities of a
In this paper a new upper bound for the feedback set of cubic graphs is obtained. This result answers a question posed by Speckenmeyer (1986, 1988) in the field of feedback vertex set and improves several former results due to Bondy et al. (1987). Also this new bound is sharp in some cases.
