The bounded-degree rainbow independent-set conjecture

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let D(k)\mathcal D(k) be the class of graphs whose vertex degrees are at most kk. Bounded-degree conjecture.

fD(k)(n,n)=⌈k+12⌉(n−1)+1.f_{\mathcal D(k)}(n,n)=\left\lceil\frac{k+1}{2}\right\rceil(n-1)+1.

The source gives a general upper bound from graph colouring and says that this proposed value is not known to be sharp in general.
