      5 An *independent set* is a [subset] of [vertices] of an [undirected_graph] such that no two [vertices] of the [subset] are [adjacent]. Also called a "coclique" or "anticlique", or a "stable"

      7 ## Connections
      8 
      9 - An independent set is a [clique] of the [complement] of the graph
     10 - The [complementation] of an independent set is a [vertex_cover]
     11   - and the [complementation] of a [maximum_independent_set] is a [minimum_vertex_cover]
     12 
     13 ## Variants
     14 
     15 - [maximum_independent_set]: [np_hard] to find, mais [ptime] in [graph_bipartite] ([maximum_independent_set_bipartite])
     16 - [maximal_independent_set]: [ptime] to find with [greedy_algorithm]
     17 - [generalized_dominating_set]
     18 - [independent_set_enumeration]

     20 ## [counting]
     21 
     22 - [sharp_bis] is the problem of counting independent sets on [graph_bipartite]
     23   - it is open whether it admits an [fpras] 
     24 - [dyer1999counting]: on general graphs there is no [fpras], cf [sharp_is]
     25 
     26 By [duality], counting independent sets exactly is the same as counting [vertex_cover] exactly
     27 
     28 ## [linear_relaxation]
     29 
     30 [fractional_independent_set]
     31 - like [fractional_edge_cover] vs [edge_cover]
