We show that the number of independent sets in cocomparability graphs can be counted in linear time, as can counting cliques in comparability graphs. By contrast, counting cliques in cocomparabilty graphs and counting independent sets in comparability graphs are #P-complete. We extend these results to counting maximal cliques and independent sets. We also consider the fixed-paramet

We show that a simple Markov chain, the Glauber dynamics, can efficiently sample independent sets almost uniformly at random in polynomial time for graphs in a certain class. The class is determined by boundedness of a new graph parameter called bipa rtite pathwidth. This result, which we prove for the more general hardcore distribution with fugacity $lambda$, can be viewed as a strong generalisation of Jerrum and Sinclairs work on approximately counting matchings, that is, independent sets in line graphs. The class of graphs with bounded bipartite pathwidth includes claw-free graphs, which generalise line graphs. We consider two further generalisations of claw-free graphs and prove that these classes have bounded bipartite pathwidth. We also show how to extend all our results to polynomially-bounded vertex weights.
The notion of a Riordan graph was introduced recently, and it is a far-reaching generalization of the well-known Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs. However, apart from a certain subclass of Toeplitz graphs, nothing was known on independent sets in Ri ordan graphs. In this paper, we give exact enumeration and lower and upper bounds for the number of independent sets for various classes of Riordan graphs. Remarkably, we offer a variety of methods to solve the problems that range from the structural decomposition theorem to methods in combinatorics on words. Some of our results are valid for any graph.

We determine the computational complexity of approximately counting and sampling independent sets of a given size in bounded-degree graphs. That is, we identify a critical density $alpha_c(Delta)$ and provide (i) for $alpha < alpha_c(Delta)$ randomiz ed polynomial-time algorithms for approximately sampling and counting independent sets of given size at most $alpha n$ in $n$-vertex graphs of maximum degree $Delta$; and (ii) a proof that unless NP=RP, no such algorithms exist for $alpha>alpha_c(Delta)$. The critical density is the occupancy fraction of hard core model on the clique $K_{Delta+1}$ at the uniqueness threshold on the infinite $Delta$-regular tree, giving $alpha_c(Delta)simfrac{e}{1+e}frac{1}{Delta}$ as $Deltatoinfty$.
Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a generalization of this classical problem in which the position of each vertex in the graph is a continuous decision variable, constrained to lie in a corresponding convex set. The length of an edge is then defined as a convex function of the positions of the vertices it connects. Problems of this form arise naturally in motion planning of autonomous vehicles, robot navigation, and even optimal control of hybrid dynamical systems. The price for such a wide applicability is the complexity of this problem, which is easily seen to be NP-hard. Our main contribution is a strong mixed-integer convex formulation based on perspective functions. This formulation has a very tight convex relaxation and makes it possible to efficiently find globally-optimal paths in large graphs and in high-dimensional spaces.
