A subset of vertices is a maximum independent set if no two of the vertices are joined by an edge and the subset has maximum cardinality. In this paper we answer a question posed by Herb Wilf. We show that the greatest number of maximum independent sets for a tree of n vertices is 2(n-3\* for odd n
Let n k denote the number of times the kth largest distance occurs among a set S of n points. We show that if S is the set of vertices of a convex polygone in the euclidean plane, then n1+2n2~3n and n2<~n +n 1. Together with the well-known inequality n~<~n and the trivial inequalities n~>~O and n2>~
