Combinatorics 2018-03-09 v1

Abstract

The recently introduced {k}\{k\}-packing function problem is considered in this paper. Special relation between a case when k=1k=1, k2k\ge 2 and linear programming relaxation is introduced with sufficient conditions for optimality. For arbitrary simple connected graph GG there is construction procedure for finding values of kk for which L{k}(G)L_{\{k\}}(G) can be determined in the polynomial time. Additionally, relationship between {1}\{1\}-packing function and independent set number is established. Optimal values for some special classes of graphs and general upper and lower bounds are introduced.
