چکیده
In this paper we complete the determination of the k-th (3 ≤ k ≤ bn−1 2 c) largest numbers of maximal independent sets among all quasiforest graphs of order n ≥ 8 and characterize the extremal graphs. Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C51

Maximal independent sets in bipartite graphs with at least one cycle
A maximal independent set is an independent set that is not a proper subset of any other independent set. Liu [J.Q. Liu, Maximal independent sets of bipartite graphs, J. Graph Theory, 17 (4) (1993) 495-507] determined the largest number of maximal independent sets among all n-vertex bipartite graphs. The corresponding extremal graphs are forests. It is natural and interesting for us to consider...
متن کاملDifferent-Distance Sets in a Graph
A set of vertices $S$ in a connected graph $G$ is a different-distance set if, for any vertex $w$ outside $S$, no two vertices in $S$ have the same distance to $w$.The lower and upper different-distance number of a graph are the order of a smallest, respectively largest, maximal different-distance set.We prove that a different-distance set induces either a special type of path or an independent...
متن کاملGlobal Forcing Number for Maximal Matchings under Graph Operations
Let $S= \{e_1,\,e_2, \ldots,\,e_m\}$ be an ordered subset of edges of a connected graph $G$. The edge $S$-representation of an edge set $M\subseteq E(G)$ with respect to $S$ is the vector $r_e(M|S) = (d_1,\,d_2,\ldots,\,d_m)$, where $d_i=1$ if $e_i\in M$ and $d_i=0$ otherwise, for each $i\in\{1,\ldots , k\}$. We say $S$ is a global forcing set for maximal matchings of $G$ if $...
متن کاملk-TUPLE DOMATIC IN GRAPHS
For every positive integer k, a set S of vertices in a graph G = (V;E) is a k- tuple dominating set of G if every vertex of V -S is adjacent to at least k vertices and every vertex of S is adjacent to at least k - 1 vertices in S. The minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set of G is the k-tuple domination number of G. When k = 1, a k-tuple domination number is the well-studied domination...
متن کاملThe Second Largest Number of Maximal Independent Sets in Graphs with at Most Two Cycles
Amaximal independent set is an independent set that is not a proper subset of any other independent set. Jou and Chang determined the largest number of maximal independent sets among all graphs and connected graphs of order n, which contain at most one cycle. Later B. E. Sagan and V. R. Vatter found the largest number of maximal independent sets among all graphs of order n, which contain at mos...
