Abstract

In this lecture and the next we develop a probabilistic NC algorithm of Luby for finding a maximal independent set in an undirected graph. Recall that a set of vertices of a graph is independent if the induced subgraph on those vertices has no edges. A maximal independent set is one contained in no larger independent set. A maximal independent set need not be of maximum cardinality among all independent sets in the graph.
