Abstract

Let k be a positive integer and G = (V(G),E(G)) a graph. A subset S of V(G) is a k-independent set of G if the subgraph induced by the vertices of S has maximum degree at most k-1. The maximum cardinality of a k-independent set of G is the k-independence number βₖ(G). A graph G is called β¯ₖ-stable if βₖ(G-e) = βₖ(G) for every edge e of E(G). First we give a necessary and sufficient condition for β¯ₖ-stable graphs. Then we establish four equivalent conditions for β¯ₖ-stable trees.
