On the Sizes of Maximal Independent Sets of Cylindrical Grid Graphs

ABSTRACT.

If a graph G has exactly t different sizes of maximal independent sets, G belongs to a collection called ℳt . For the Cartesian product of the graph Pn , the path of length n, and Cm , the cycle of length m, called cylindrical grid, we present a method to find maximal independent sets having different sizes and a lower bound on t, such that these graphs belong to ℳt .

Keywords:
Well-covered graph; maximal independent set; Cartesian product
