Abstract

We introduce a poly-time algorithm for the maximum weighted stable set problem, when a certain representation is given for a graph. The algorithm generalizes the algorithm for interval graphs and that for graphs with bounded pathwidth. By a suitable application to the frequency assignment problem, we improved several solutions to relevant benchmark instances.
