Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. The independence polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $I(G,x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n} s(G,k) x^{k}$, where $s(G,k)$ is the number of…

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…

If for any k the k-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x)is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality k in graph G, then it is called the independence polynomial of G (Gutman and Harary, 1983). A graph G is very well-covered…

The independence polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating polynomial corresponding to its independent sets of different sizes. More formally, if $a_k(G)$ denotes the number of independent sets of $G$ of size $k$ then \[I(G,z) \as…

The independence polynomial $I(G;x)$ of a graph $G$ is $I(G;x)=\sum_{k=1}^{\alpha(G)} s_k x^k$, where $s_k$ is the number of independent sets in $G$ of size $k$. The decycling number of a graph $G$, denoted $\phi(G)$, is the minimum size of…

The independence polynomial $I(G,x)$ of a finite graph $G$ is the generating function for the sequence of the number of independent sets of each cardinality. We investigate whether, given a fixed number of vertices and edges, there exists…

An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. The independence number $\alpha{(G)}$ is the size of a maximum independent set in the graph $G$. The independence polynomial of a graph is the generating function for…

An independent dominating set of the simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is a vertex subset that is both dominating and independent in $G$. The independent domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the polynomial $D_i(G,x)=\sum_{A} x^{|A|}$, summed over…

If alpha=alpha(G) is the maximum size of an independent set and s_{k} equals the number of stable sets of cardinality k in graph G, then I(G;x)=s_{0}+s_{1}x+...+s_{alpha}x^{alpha} is the independence polynomial of G. In this paper we prove…

The independence polynomial of a graph $G$ is \[I(G,x)=\sum\limits_{k\ge 0}i_k(G)x^k,\] where $i_k(G)$ denotes the number of independent sets of $G$ of size $k$ (note that $i_0(G)=1$). In this paper we show a new method to prove…

An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices, and a(G) is the size of a maximum independent set in the graph G. If s_{k} is the number of independent sets of cardinality k in G, then…

An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices, and alpha(G) is the size of a maximum independent set in the graph G. A matching is a set of non-incident edges, while mu(G) is the cardinality of a maximum matching.…

A set S is independent in a graph G if no two vertices from S are adjacent. By core(G) we mean the intersection of all maximum independent sets. The independence number alpha(G) is the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while mu(G)…

The independence polynomial of a graph is the generating polynomial for the number of independent sets of each size and its roots are called independence roots. We bound the maximum modulus, $\mbox{maxmod}(n)$, of an independence root over…

The independent domination number $i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal independent set of $G$, also called an $i(G)$-set. The $i$-graph of $G$, denoted $\mathcal{I}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the…

The independence polynomial $I(G, x)$ of a graph $G$ is the polynomial in variable $x$ in which the coefficient $a_n$ on $x^n$ gives the number of independent subsets $S \subseteq V(G)$ of vertices of $G$ such that $|S| = n$. $I(G, x)$ is…

The independent domination number $i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal independent set of $G$, also called an $i(G)$-set. The $i$-graph of $G$, denoted $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if all its maximal stable sets have the same size, denoted by alpha(G) (M. D. Plummer, 1970). If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$…

If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$ in graph $G$, then it is called the independence polynomial of $G$ (Gutman and Harary, 1983). J. I. Brown, K. Dilcher and…

Let $I(G;x)$ denote the independence polynomial of a graph $G$. In this paper we study the unimodality properties of $I(G;x)$ for some composite graphs $G$. Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, let $G_1[G_2]$ denote the lexicographic product…
