In graph theory, an independent set, stable set, coclique or anticlique is a set of vertices in a graph, no two of which are adjacent. That is, it is a set of vertices such that for every two vertices in , there is no edge connecting the two. Equivalently, each edge in the graph has at most one endpoint in . A set is independent if and only if it is a clique in the graph's complement. The size of an independent set is the number of vertices it contains. Independent sets have also been called "internally stable sets", of which "stable set" is a shortening. A maximal independent set is an independent set that is not a proper subset of any other independent set. A maximum independent set is an independent set of largest possible size for a given graph . This size is called the independence number of and is usually denoted by . The optimization problem of finding such a set is called the maximum independent set problem. It is a strongly NP-hard problem. As such, it is unlikely that there exists an efficient algorithm for finding a maximum independent set of a graph. Every maximum independent set also is maximal, but the converse implication does not necessarily hold. (Wikipedia).
Independent Vertex Sets | Graph Theory, Maximal and Maximum Independent Sets
What are independent vertex sets in graph theory? We'll go over independent sets, their definition and examples, and some related concepts in today's video graph theory lesson! A subset of the vertex set of a graph is an independent vertex set if and only if it contains no pair of adjace

Is the Empty Set an Independent Vertex Set? | Graph Theory Exercises
We prove the empty set is an independent set using the definition of independent vertex sets. We also show the empty set is an independent set by considering the complement of a vertex cover. Recall that an independent vertex set S of a graph G is a subset of the vertex set of G such that

Complement of Independent Set is Vertex Cover | Graph Theory
We prove the complement of an independent vertex set is a vertex cover. This makes for an easy direct proof once we recall our definitions. An independent vertex set is a set of vertices, no two of which are adjacent. A vertex cover is a set of vertices such that every edge has at least on

What is a Graph? | Graph Theory
What is a graph? A graph theory graph, in particular, is the subject of discussion today. In graph theory, a graph is an ordered pair consisting of a vertex set, then an edge set. Graphs are often represented as diagrams, with dots representing vertices, and lines representing edges. Each

Vertex Covers and Vertex Covering Numbers | Graph Theory
We introduce vertex covers, minimum vertex covers, and vertex covering numbers! We'll see some examples and non-examples of vertex covers, as well as minimum vertex covers and some that aren't minimum. The number of vertices in a minimum vertex cover is called the vertex covering number of

Graph Theory FAQs: 01. More General Graph Definition
In video 02: Definition of a Graph, we defined a (simple) graph as a set of vertices together with a set of edges where the edges are 2-subsets of the vertex set. Notice that this definition does not allow for multiple edges or loops. In general on this channel, we have been discussing o

Vertex Covering Number of Complete Graphs | Graph Theory Exercises
We discuss and prove the vertex covering number of a complete graph Kn is n-1. That is, the minimum number of vertices needed to cover a complete graph is one less than its number of vertices. This is because, put simply, if we are missing at least 2 vertices in our attempted vertex cover,

Complement of Vertex Cover is Independent Vertex Set | Graph Theory
We prove the complement of a vertex cover is an independent vertex set. Recall a vertex cover is a set of vertices covering all edges of the graph, meaning every edge has at least one end vertex in the cover. As a result, the complement of a cover cannot possible have two vertices joined b

In this video we define a (proper) vertex colouring of a graph and the chromatic number of a graph. We discuss some basic facts about the chromatic number as well as how a k-colouring partitions the vertex set into k independent sets (check out video #50 for more about independent sets).
