摘要
We prove two results concerning approximate counting of independent sets in graphs with constant maximum degree Delta. The first implies that the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique is likely to fail if Delta greater than or equal to 6. The second shows that no fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme can exist for Delta greater than or equal to 25, unless RP = NP.
