In 1968, Vizing conjectured that if G is a -critical graph with n vertices, then (G) β€ n / 2, where (G) is the independence number of G. In this paper, we apply Vizing and Vizing-like adjacency lemmas to this problem and prove that (G)<(((5 -6)n) / (8 -6))<5n / 8 if β₯ 6. α§ 2010 Wiley
Let G be a connected and simple graph, and let i(G) denote the number of stable sets in G. In this letter, we have presented a sharp upper bound for the i(G)-value among the set of graphs with k cut edges for all possible values of k, and characterized the corresponding extremal graphs as well.
Let G be a simple graph of order n and minimum degree $. The independent domination number i(G) is defined to be the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of vertices of G. In this paper, we show that i(G) n+2$&2 -n$. Thus a conjecture of Favaron is settled in the affirmative.
Generalizing a theorem of Moon and Moser. we determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets in a connected graph on n vertices for n sufficiently large, e.g., n > 50. = I .32. . .). Example 1.2. Let b, = i(C,), where C,z denotes the circuit of length n. Then b, = 3, 6, = 2, b, = 5, and b,
