Abstract
An independent transversal of a graph (Formula presented.) with a vertex partition (Formula presented.) is an independent set of (Formula presented.) intersecting each block of (Formula presented.) in a single vertex. Wanless and Wood proved that if each block of (Formula presented.) has size at least (Formula presented.) and the ... read more
