Abstract

In this paper we give an algorithm for counting the number of all independent sets in a claw-free graph which works in time O*(1.08352n) for graphs with no vertices of degree larger than 3 and O*(1.23544n) for arbitrary claw-free graphs, where n is the number of vertices in the instance graph.
