The Number of Independent Sets in a Graph with Small Maximum Degree

The Number of Independent Sets in a Graph with Small Maximum Degree

Let i(G) be the number of independent sets in a graph G. We show that if G has maximum degree at most 5 then

The Maximum Number of Edges in a Strongly Multiplicative Graph

on the number of maximum independent sets of graphs

let $g$ be a simple graph. an independent set is a set ofpairwise non-adjacent vertices. the number of vertices in a maximum independent set of $g$ isdenoted by $alpha(g)$. in this paper, we characterize graphs $g$ with $n$ vertices and with maximumnumber of maximum independent sets provided that $alpha(g)leq 2$ or $alpha(g)geq n-3$.

The Ramsey number of a graph with bounded maximum degree

The Ramsey number of a graph G is the least number t for which it is true that whenever the edges of the complete graph on t vertices are colored in an arbitrary fashion using two colors, say red and blue, then it is always the case that either the red subgraph contains G or the blue subgraph contains G. A conjecture of P. Erdos and S. Burr is settled in the afftrmative by proving that for each...

On the Maximum Number of Dominating Classes in Graph Coloring

In this paper we investigate the dominating- -color number،  of a graph G. That is the maximum number of color classes that are also dominating when G is colored using colors. We show that where is the join of G and H. This result allows us to construct classes of graphs such that and thus provide some information regarding two questions raised in [1] and [2].
