A graph $G$ is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. Assume that a weight function $w$ is defined on its vertices. Then $G$ is $w$-well-covered if all maximal independent sets are of the same weight.…

Let $B$ be an induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$ on vertex sets of bipartition $B_{X}$ and $B_{Y}$. The subgraph $B$ is {\it generating} if there exists an independent set $S$ such that each of $S \cup B_{X}$ and $S \cup B_{Y}$ is a…

A graph is well-covered if every maximal independent set has the same cardinality. The recognition problem of well-covered graphs is known to be co-NP-complete. Let w be a weight function defined on the vertices of G. Then G is…
Let $G$ be a graph. A set $S \subseteq V(G)$ is independent if its elements are pairwise non-adjacent. A vertex $v \in V(G)$ is shedding if for every independent set $S \subseteq V(G) \setminus N[v]$ there exists $u \in N(v)$ such that $S…
A graph is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same size (M. D. Plummer, 1970). A well-covered graph is 1-well-covered if the deletion of every vertex leaves a graph which is well-covered as well (J. W. Staples,…
Let $G$ be a graph. A set $S$ of vertices in $G$ dominates the graph if every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or a neighbor of a vertex in $S$. Finding a minimal cardinality set which dominates the graph is an NP-complete problem. The graph…
Let $ G=(V,E) $ be a simple graph of order $ n $ and size $ m $. A connected edge cover set of a graph is a subset $S$ of edges such that every vertex of the graph is incident to at least one edge of $S$ and the subgraph induced by $S$ is…
Strongly chordal graphs are a subclass of chordal graphs. The interest in this subclass stems from the fact that many problems which are NP-complete for chordal graphs are solvable in polynomial time for this subclass. However, we are not…
The independence polynomial $i(G,x)$ of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the numbers of independent sets of each size. A graph of order $n$ is very well-covered if every maximal independent set has size $n/2$. Levit and Mandrescu…
An $(r, \ell)$-partition of a graph $G$ is a partition of its vertex set into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. A graph is $(r, \ell)$ if it admits an $(r, \ell)$-partition. A graph is well-covered if every maximal independent set is…
A graph is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. This well studied concept was introduced by Plummer in 1970 and naturally generalizes to the weighted case. Given a graph $G$, a real-valued vertex…
A plane near-triangulation G can be decomposed into a collection of induced subgraphs, described here as the W-components of G, such that G is perfect (respectively, chordal) if and only if each of its W-components is perfect (respectively,…
We prove a number of results related to the computational complexity of recognizing well-covered graphs. Let $k$ and $s$ be positive integers and let $G$ be a graph. Then $G$ is said - $\mathbf{W_k}$ if for any $k$ pairwise disjoint…
Let $G(V,E)$ be a graph, and $\mathscr{H}:=\big\{H:H\subseteq G\big\}$ denote the collection of all possible subgraphs of $G$. Then for each non-negative function $w:\mathscr{H}\to\mathbb{R_+}$, the graph $G(V,E,w)$ is said to be a weighted…
Let $G$ be a graph, and let $w: V(G) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a weight function on the vertices of $G$. For every subset $X$ of $V(G)$, let $w(X)=\sum_{v \in X} w(v).$ A non-empty subset $S \subset V(G)$ is a weighted safe set of $(G,w)$ if, for…
A graph is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality (Plummer, 1970). If G is a well-covered graph, has at least two vertices, and G-v is well-covered for every vertex v, then G is a 1-well-covered graph…
