On the number of maximal independent sets in a graph

David R. Wood

Published 2011-04-07, updated 2011-04-14Version 2

Miller and Muller (1960) and independently Moon and Moser (1965) determined the maximum number of maximal independent sets in an $n$-vertex graph. We give a new and simple proof of this result.
