摘要
A fork is a graph that is obtained from K-1,K-3 by subdividing one edge. It is known [6-8] that for K-1,K-3-free graphs the problem of finding the largest independent set can be solved in a polynomial time. In this paper, we prove that this is also true for the wider class of fork-free graphs. (C) 2002 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
