max_independent_set

std.linalg.max_independent_set · Level L4

The independence number α(G), a maximum independent set (no two of its vertices adjacent), and the number of maximum independent sets, as the maximum cliques of the complement graph.

α(G) = ω(Ḡ)

Signature

max_independent_set(A: f64[n, n]) → f64[], f64[n], f64[]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Equal to the reference the maximum cliques of the complement in exact rational arithmetic, on all 40 test cases.
  • All 225 float64 results are exact: the error is zero.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.
  • At float32 too: the 40 test cases rounded to float32, and 40 of them exact, with zero error.

The semantic hash of the graph. It changes when the program changes, and never when only its documentation does.

Needs
no capability: a pure function

Through NOVA’s control layer, the symbol launches this function only while the program still matches what it pins: a change to this graph, or to any graph it reaches, needs a migration first.
