Abstract

This survey concerns regular graphs that are extremal with respect to the number of independent sets and, more generally, graph homomorphisms. More precisely, in the family of of d-regular graphs, which graph G maximizes/minimizes the quantity i(G)1/v(G), the number of independent sets in G normalized exponentially by the size of G? What if i (G) is replaced by some other graph parameter? We review existing techniques, highlight some exciting recent developments, and discuss open problems and conjectures for future research.
