Abstract

For a given class C\mathcal{C} of graphs and given integers mnm \leq n, let fC(n,m)f_\mathcal{C}(n,m) be the minimal number kk such that every kk independent nn-sets in any graph belonging to C\mathcal{C} have a (possibly partial) rainbow independent mm-set. Motivated by known results on the finiteness and actual value of fC(n,m)f_\mathcal{C}(n,m) when C\mathcal{C} is the class of line graphs of graphs, we study this function for various other classes.
