Maximum independent set in dense graphs

Let $0 < A < 1$ and $G$ be connected d-regular graph with degree $d=[A n]$. The density of $G$ is about $A$. Q1 Are there constraints on $A$ such that finding maximum independent set of $G$ is ...

A generalization of the triangle counting problem for simple weighted graphs

One nice identity is that $$\operatorname{tr}(A^3)/6$$ counts the number of triangles of a graph with adjacency matrix $A$. It also implies that triangle counting in a graph can be performed in sub-...

Efficient Hamiltonian cycle algorithms for graph classes

Generally speaking, finding a Hamiltonian cycle is NP-Hard and so tough. But if $G=L(H)$ is the line graph of $H$, then we can reduce the problem of finding a Hamiltonian cycle in $G$ to finding an ...

A natural problem on "cartesian union" of set families (hypergraphs). Are there NP-complete problems related to the notion of cartesian product?

I'm curious whether the problem below is NP-complete. I provide two simple definitions and one example at first. Definition 1. Let $\langle \cal S_i\rangle\substack{i\in I}$ and $\langle \cal S_j \...

Reduction graph isomorphism to maximum independent set in very dense graph

We got a reduction graph isomorphism to MIS in a very dense graph, or alternatively negative monotone 2-CNF to MAX-ONEs with a formula with many clauses. Let $G,H$ be graphs of order $n$ and adjacency ...
