Stability of independence polynomials of spiders
Lei Zhang, Jianhua Tu
For a graph , let denote the number of independent sets of cardinality , and let \[ I(G,z)=\sum_{k\ge0} i_k(G)z^k \] be its independence polynomial. Following Brown…
Maximal independent sets in graphs with given matching number
Yongtang Shi, Jianhua Tu, Ziyuan Wang
A maximal independent set in a graph is an independent set that cannot be extended to a larger independent set by adding any vertex from . This paper investigates the proble…
Upper bound for the number of maximal dissociation sets in trees
Ziyuan Wang, Lei Zhang, Jianhua Tu +1
Let be a simple graph. A dissociation set of is defined as a set of vertices that induces a subgraph in which every vertex has a degree of at most 1. A dissociation set is…
The minimum number of maximal independent sets in graphs with given order and independence number
Yuting Tian, Jianhua Tu
Let be the set of all maximal independent sets in a graph , and let . In this paper, we show that for any tree with vertices and independence n…
