Independent dominating sets in triangle-free graphs
The independent domination number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of an independent set that dominates the graph. In this paper we consider the independent domination number of triangle-free graphs. We improve several of the known bounds as a function of the order and minimum degree, thereby answering conjectures of Haviland.
متن کاملCounting independent sets in triangle-free graphs
Ajtai, Komlós, and Szemerédi proved that for sufficiently large t every trianglefree graph with n vertices and average degree t has an independent set of size at least n 100t log t. We extend this by proving that the number of independent sets in such a graph is at least 2 1 2400 n t log . This result is sharp for infinitely many t, n apart from the constant. An easy consequence of our result i...
متن کاملThe independent domination number of maximal triangle-free graphs
A triangle-free graph is maximal if the addition of any edge produces a triangle. A set S of vertices in a graph G is called an independent dominating set if S is both an independent and a dominating set of G. The independent domination number i(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of an independent dominating set of G. In this paper, we show that i(G) ≤ δ(G) ≤ n 2 for maximal triangle-free graph...
متن کاملIndependent sets in triangle-free cubic planar graphs
We prove that every triangle-free planar graph on n vertices with maximum degree three has an independent set with size at least 38n. This was suggested and later conjectured by Albertson, Bollobás, and Tucker.
متن کاملLarge Independent Sets in Triangle-Free Planar Graphs
Every triangle-free planar graph on n vertices has an independent set of size at least (n+ 1)/3, and this lower bound is tight. We give an algorithm that, given a triangle-free planar graph G on n vertices and an integer k ≥ 0, decides whether G has an independent set of size at least (n+ k)/3, in time 2 √ n. Thus, the problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by k. Furthermore, a...
