Abstract

An independent set in a graph is a set of vertices without edges between them. Every planar graph has an independent set of size at least 14n, and there are planar graphs for which no larger independent sets are possible. In this paper, similar bounds are provided for the problem of bounded-degree independent set, i.e. an independent set where additionally all vertices have degree less than a pre-specified bound D. Our upper and lower bounds match (up to a small constant) for D ≤ 16. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.
