Abstract

Research on the independence polynomial of graphs has been very active. However, the computational complexity of determining independence polynomials for general graphs remains NP-hard. Let α(G) be the independence number of G and i(G; k) be the number of independent sets of order k in G, then the independence polynomial is defined as ......
