Constraints on the number of maximal independent sets in graphs

TL;DR: This work proves two conjectures, suggested by P. Erdos, that the maximum number of maximal independent sets among all graphs of order n in a family Φ is o(3n/3) ifΦ is either a family of connected graphs such that the largest value of maximum degrees among all graph n in Φ are o(n) or a family that approaches infinity as n → ∞.

Incorporating domain knowledge in latent topic models

TL;DR: Novel methods for enabling topic models to take advantage of side information, domain knowledge, and user guidance and feedback are developed to enhance topic model analyses across a variety of datasets, including non-text domains.

Worst case bounds for some NP-Complete modified Horn-SAT problems

TL;DR: An exact deterministic algorithm is provided showing that SAT for mixed (hidden) Horn formulas containing n variables is solvable in time O(2) and a fixed-parameter tractability classification for SAT restricted to mixed Horn formulas is obtained.

Extremal Theorems for Databases

TL;DR: It is shown, that the maximum of the minimum number of rows, that are needed to represent a Sperner system of only two element sets is 3(n/3+o(n)).

On cliques in graphs

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum number of cliques possible in a graph with n nodes is determined and bounds are obtained for the number of different sizes of clique possible in such a graph.

The number of maximal independent sets in a tree

TL;DR: In this paper, the maximal independent sets of vertices that any tree of n vertices can have were shown to have maximal number of maximal independent vertices, where vertices are independent sets.

The number of maximal independent sets in connected graphs

TL;DR: A theorem of Moon and Moser is generalized to determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets in a connected graph on n vertices for n sufficiently large, e.g., n > 50.
