For a given class $mathcal{C}$ of graphs and given integers $m leq n$, let $f_mathcal{C}(n,m)$ be the minimal number $k$ such that every $k$ independent $n$-sets in any graph belonging to $mathcal{C}$ have a (possibly partial) rainbow independent $m$-set. Motivated by known results on the finiteness and actual value of $f_mathcal{C}(n,m)$ when $mathcal{C}$ is the class of line graphs of graphs, we study this function for various other classes.
Given a family $mathcal{I}$ of independent sets in a graph, a rainbow independent set is an independent set $I$ such that there is an injection $phicolon Ito mathcal{I}$ where for each $vin I$, $v$ is contained in $phi(v)$. Aharoni, Briggs, J. Kim, a
Given a graph $G$, let $f_{G}(n,m)$ be the minimal number $k$ such that every $k$ independent $n$-sets in $G$ have a rainbow $m$-set. Let $mathcal{D}(2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree at most two. Aharoni et al. (2019) conjectured t
In this paper, we study independent domination in directed graphs, which was recently introduced by Cary, Cary, and Prabhu. We provide a short, algorithmic proof that all directed acyclic graphs contain an independent dominating set. Using linear alg
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
Nielsen proved that the maximum number of maximal independent sets (MISs) of size $k$ in an $n$-vertex graph is asymptotic to $(n/k)^k$, with the extremal construction a disjoint union of $k$ cliques with sizes as close to $n/k$ as possible. In this
