Maximum independent set

A Maximum Independent Set is a concept from graph theory, which deals with networks of points (nodes) connected by lines (edges). In simple terms, it's a group of nodes in a graph where no two nodes are directly connected to each other, and the group is as large as possible. This means that in this selected group, you can choose members without any direct relationships among them. Finding the Maximum Independent Set is useful in various applications, like optimizing resources, scheduling tasks, or network design, where you want to maximize non-overlapping selections.
