## 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

## Abstract We consider the problem of the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles that could be present in a Hamiltonian maximal planar graph on __p__ vertices. In particular, we construct a __p__‐vertex maximal planar graph containing exactly four Hamiltonian cycles for every __p__ ≥ 12. We also pro
