A gra~h is wen-covered if it has no isolated vertices and all the maximal stable (iadependent) sets have the same cardinality. If fm'thermore this cardinality is equal to Β½n, where n is the order of, he graph, the graph is called 'veEΒ’ well covered'. The class of very well-covered graphs contains in

A graph is well-covered if every maximal independent set is maximum. This concept, introduced by Plummer in 1970 (J. Combin. Theory 8 (1970)), is the focal point of much interest and current research. We consider well-covered 2-degenerate graphs and supply a structural (and polynomial time algorithm
In his talk 'Spanning tees of planar maps' at the 19th Southeastern Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing (Baton Rouge, LA, February 1988), Rosenfeld stated the following conjecture. Conjecture. Let G be a 2-connected graph and let % be a collection of cycles in G such that: (i)
The concept of k-coterie is useful for achieving k-mutual exclusion in distributed systems. A graph is said to be well covered if any of its maximal independent sets is also maximum. We first show that a graph G is well covered with independence number k if and only if G represents the incidence rel
## Abstract A graph with __n__ vertices is well covered if every maximal independent set is a maximum independent set and very well covered if every maximal independent set has size __n__/2. In this work, we study these graphs from an algorithmic complexity point of view. We show that wellβcovered
