In this paper we give an algorithm for counting the number of all independent sets in a given graph which works in time $O^*(1.1394^n)$ for subcubic graphs and in time $O^*(1.2369^n)$ for general graphs, where $n$ is the number of vertices…

A maximal independent set (MIS) can be maintained in an evolving $m$-edge graph by simply recomputing it from scratch in $O(m)$ time after each update. But can it be maintained in time sublinear in $m$ in fully dynamic graphs? We answer…
