Popis: An independent set (or stable set) of a graphG(V,E) is a subsetSof the vertices setVin which no two are adjacent. Let ψ(G) be the number of vertices in a stable set of maximum cardinality; ψ(G) is called the stability number ofG. Stability numbers of a graph have been well studied, but little has been done on the number of independent subsets whose cardinality is the stability number. In this paper we will provide an algorithm to find the number of independent subsets whose cardinality is the stability number.
