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 Riordan 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 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 comparabilit y graphs are #P-complete. We extend these results to counting maximal cliques and independent sets. We also consider the fixed-paramet

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 ebraic tools, we prove that any strongly connected graph with even period has at least two independent dominating sets, generalizing several of the results of Cary, Cary, and Prabhu. We prove that determining the period of the graph is not sufficient to determine the existence of an independent dominating set by constructing a few examples of infinite families of graphs. We show that the direct analogue of Vizings Conjecture does not hold for independent domination number in directed graphs by providing two infinite families of graphs. We initialize the study of time complexity for independent domination in directed graphs, proving that the existence of an independent dominating set in directed acyclic graphs and strongly connected graphs with even period are in the time complexity class $P$. We also provide an algorithm for determining existence of an independent dominating set for digraphs with period greater than $1$.

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 paper we study how many MISs of size $k$ an $n$-vertex graph $G$ can have if $G$ does not contain a clique $K_t$. We prove for all fixed $k$ and $t$ that there exist such graphs with $n^{lfloorfrac{(t-2)k}{t-1}rfloor-o(1)}$ MISs of size $k$ by utilizing recent work of Gowers and B. Janzer on a generalization of the Ruzsa-Szemeredi problem. We prove that this bound is essentially best possible for triangle-free graphs when $kle 4$.
We show that any connected Cayley graph $Gamma$ on an Abelian group of order $2n$ and degree $tilde{Omega}(log n)$ has at most $2^{n+1}(1 + o(1))$ independent sets. This bound is tight up to to the $o(1)$ term when $Gamma$ is bipartite. Our proof is based on Sapozhenkos graph container method and uses the Pl{u}nnecke-Rusza-Petridis inequality from additive combinatorics.
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.
