Abstract

top
We discuss how to find the well-covered dimension of a graph that is the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete graphs, and other simple graphs. Also, a bound for the well-covered dimension of Kn × G is found, provided that G has a largest greedy independent decomposition of length c < n. Formulae to find the well-covered dimension of graphs obtained by vertex blowups on a known graph, and to the lexicographic product of two known graphs are also given.
