Abstract

The paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of the number mi(Tq,n) of maximal independent sets in a complete q-ary tree of height n. For some constants α2 and β2 the asymptotic formula mi(T2,n)∼ α2⋅ (β2)2n is shown to hold as n → ∞. It is also proved that mi(Tq,3k)αq(1)(βq)q3k,mi(Tq,3k+1)αq(2)(βq)q3k+1,mi(Tq,3k+2)αq(3)(βq)q3k+2 as k→ ∞ for any sufficiently large q, some three pairwise distinct constants αq(1),αq(2),αq(3) and a constant bq.
