Abstract
For n-regular, N-vertex bipartite graphs with bipartition A U B, a precise bound is given for the sum over independent sets I of the quantity μ |I ∩ A| λ |I ∩ B| , (In other language, this is bounding the partition function for certain instances of the hard-core model.) This result is then extended to graded partially ordered sets, which in particular provides a simple proof of a well-known bound for Dedekind's Problem given by Kleitman and Markowsky in 1975.
