Dissociation number

Dissociation number

In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, a subset of vertices in a graph G is called dissociation if it induces a subgraph with maximum degree 1. The number of vertices in a maximum cardinality dissociation set in G is called the dissociation number of G, denoted by diss(G). The problem of computing diss(G) (dissociation number problem) was firstly studied by Yannakakis [1][2], where it was proved to be NP-hard in the class of bipartite and planar graphs.
