BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-76-550 ENTRY:: July 04, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Finding a maximum independent set TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Tarjan, Robert Endre AUTHOR:: Trojanowski, Anthony E. DATE:: June 1976 PAGES:: 23 ABSTRACT:: We present an algorithm which finds a maximum independent set in an n-vertex graph in 0($2^{n/3}$) time. The algorithm can thus handle graphs roughly three times as large as could be analyzed using a naive algorithm. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19950704] END:: STAN//CS-TR-76-550
