ABSTRACT

A method of search for the largest maximal independent sets of an undirected connected graph is proposed that allows one to solve the problem of determining the largest maximal independent sets in polynomial time with the number of vertices in the graph not exceeding 120 and the density of edges in the range from 0.067 to 0.9. with a further increase in the number of vertices and a decrease in the density of edges in the graph, the algorithm has an exponential complexity that does not exceed at an average O (20,4n), which tends to the decrease with increasing the edge density in the graph, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

KEYWORDS
