摘要:

最大独立集是指不包含于任何其他独立集的独立集,它也是数学、计算机科学等领域的核心问题。计数问题是一类与解的数量相关的计算问题,此外,计数问题能帮助我们更好地理解算法分析、复杂性理论、人工智能等多个领域。最大独立集计数问题是#P完全的,因此自然会引发对最大独立集问题近似计数的思考。本文研究了最大独立集近似计数的复杂性,具体而言,我们首次证明了在给定一般图上,#MIS问题与#SAT是AP可互归约的。

英文摘要:

A maximal independent set is an independent set that is not a subset of any other independent set. It is also the key problem of mathematics, computer science, and other fields. A counting problem is a type of computational problem that associated with the number of solutions. Besides, counting problems help us better understand several fields such as algorithm analysis, complexity theory, artificial intelligence, etc. The problem of counting maximal independent sets is #P-complete. So it is natural to think about approximate counting for maximal independent sets problem. In this article, we study the complexity of approximately counting maximal independent sets. Specifically, we are the first to prove that the #MIS problem is AP-interreducible with the #SAT of a given general graph.
