An independent vertex set of a graph is a subset of the vertices such that no two vertices in the subset represent an edge of . The figure above shows independent sets consisting of two subsets for a number of graphs (the wheel graph , utility graph , Petersen graph, and Frucht graph).
Any independent vertex set is an irredundant set (Burger et al. 1997, Mynhardt and Roux 2020).
The polynomial whose coefficients give the number of independent vertex sets of each cardinality in a graph is known as its independence polynomial.
A set of vertices is an independent vertex set iff its complement forms a vertex cover (Skiena 1990, p. 218). The counts of vertex covers and independent vertex sets in a graph are therefore the same.
The empty set is trivially an independent vertex set since it contains no vertices, and therefore no edge endpoints.
A maximum independent vertex set is an independent vertex set of a graph containing the largest possible number of vertices for the given graph, and the cardinality of this set is called the independence number of the graph.
An independent vertex set that cannot be enlarged to another independent vertex set by adding a vertex is called a maximal independent vertex set.
In the Wolfram Language, the command FindIndependentVertexSet[g][[1]] can be used to find a maximum independent vertex set, and FindIndependentVertexSet[g, Length /@ FindIndependentVertexSet[g], All] to find all maximum independent vertex sets. Similarly, FindIndependentVertexSet[g, Infinity] can be used to find a maximal independent vertex set, and FindIndependentVertexSet[g, Infinity, All] to find all independent vertex sets. To find all independent vertex sets in the Wolfram Language, enumerate all vertex subsets and select those for which IndependentVertexSetQ[g, s] is true.
Independent vertex set counts for some families of graphs are summarized in the following table.
