Network Decomposition and Maximum Independent Set Part Ⅱ：Application Research

According to the researches on theoretic basis in part I of the paper，the spanning tree algorithms solving the maximum independent set both in even network and in odd network have been developed in this part，part Ⅱ of the paper．The algorithms trans form first the general network into the pair sets network，and then decompose the pair sets network into a series of pair subsets by use of the characteristic of maximum flow passing through the pair sets network．As for the even network，the algorithm requires only one time of trans formation and decomposition，the maximum independent set can be gained without any iteration processes，and the time complexity of the algorithm is within the bound of O(｜V｜^3)．However，as for the odd network，the algorithm consists of two stages．In the first stage，the general odd network is transformed and decomposed into the pseudo-negative envelope graphs and generalized reverse pseudo-negative envelope graphs alternately distributed at first；then the algorithm turns to the second stage，searching for the negative envelope graphs within the pseudo-negative envelope graphs only．Each time as a negative envelope graphhas been found．renew the pair sets network by iteration at once．and then tum back to the first stage．So both stages form a circulation process up to the optimum．Two available methods，the adjusting search and the picking-off search are specially developed to deal with the problems resulted from the odd network．Both of them link up with each other harmoniously and are embedded together in the algorithm．Analysis and study indicate that the time complexity of this algorithm is within the bound of O(｜V｜^5)．
