Title
Independent [1, K]-Sets In Graphs
Abstract
A subset S subset of V in a graph G - (V, E) is a [1, k]-set for a positive integer k if for every vertex v is an element of V \ S, 1 <= |N(v) boolean AND S| <= k, that is, every vertex v is an element of V \ S is adjacent to at least one but not more than k vertices in S. We consider [1, k]-sets that are also independent, and note that not every graph has an independent [1, k]-set. For graphs having an independent [1, k]-set, we define the lower and upper [1, k]-independence numbers and determine upper bounds for these values. In addition, the trees having an independent [1, k]-set are characterized. Also, we show that the related decision problem is NP-complete.
