A function f : Fin r → V is an independent transversal for the partition
parts : Fin r → Finset V of $V$ in the graph $G$ if it picks one vertex from each part
($f i \in $ parts i) and its image is an independent set in $G$.
Instances For
An independent transversal for smaller parts parts' is also one for any enlargement
parts ⊇ parts'.
LLL-based existence of an independent transversal in the equal-part case: if every part
has the same size $k$ and $2 e \Delta(G) \le k$, then there is an independent transversal,
obtained by sampling each $f(i)$ uniformly from parts i and applying the LLL.
Theorem 6.3.1 (Independent Transversal): if $V$ is partitioned into disjoint parts each of size at least $2 e \Delta(G)$, then there is an independent transversal selecting one vertex per part with pairwise non-adjacent images. Proven by trimming each part to size exactly $\lceil 2 e \Delta \rceil$ and invoking the equal-parts LLL version.
