Abstract

We present an output sensitive algorithm for computing a maximum independent set of an unweighted circle graph. Our algorithm requires O(nmin{d,@a}) time at worst, for an n vertex circle graph where @a is the independence number of the circle graph and d is its density. Previous algorithms for this problem required @Q(nd) time at worst.
