Feige–Pauzner conjecture for enabling graphs
Feige–Pauzner conjecture for enabling graphs
Let be a graph on vertices, and let be the maximum integer such that every vertex of is contained in both a clique of size and an independent set of size .
Feige–Pauzner conjecture. For all ,
This conjecture gives the exact value of the largest common clique and independent-set size that can be locally guaranteed in an -vertex graph. The paper states that it proves this conjecture, so its status is solved.
