An algorithm for finding the Independence Number of a graph
Omar Kettani · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2008
In this paper, we prove that for every connected graph G, there exists a split graph H with the same independence number and the same order. Then we propose a first algorithm for finding this graph, given the degree sequence of the input graph G. Further, we propose a second algorithm for finding the independence number of G, given the adjacency matrix of G.
