The number of maximal independent sets in connected graphs. (English) Zbl 0647.05032
Generalizing a theorem of J. W. Moon and L. Moser [Isr. J. Math. 3, 23-28 (1965; Zbl 0144.232)], we determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets in a connected graph on n vertices for n sufficiently large, e.g., $$n>50$$.
