Abstract

In 1968, Vizing conjectured that, if G is a A-critical graph with n vertices, then alpha(G) < = n/2 where alpha(G) is the independence number of G. In this note, we apply Vizing and Vizing-like adjacency lemmas to this problem and obtain better bounds for Delta is an element of {7,..., 19}. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
