Small Maximal Independent Sets and Faster Exact Graph Coloring (2003) [25 citations — 1 self]

Abstract:

We show that, for any n-vertex graph G and integer parameter k,there |I|#k,and that all such sets can be listed in time ). These bounds are tight when n/4 n/3. As a consequence, we show how to compute the exact chromatic number of a graph in time O((4/3+3 /4) 2.4150 , improving a previous algorithm of Lawler (1976).
