Independent sets in graphs with given minimum degree

Combinatorics 2012-10-05 v1

Abstract

We consider numbers and sizes of independent sets in graphs with minimum degree at least dd, when the number nn of vertices is large. In particular we investigate which of these graphs yield the maximum numbers of independent sets of different sizes, and which yield the largest random independent sets. We establish a strengthened form of a conjecture of Galvin concerning the first of these topics.
