Abstract
We show that there is no 2o(k2)nO(1) time algorithm for Independent Set on n-vertex graphs with rank-width k, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails. Our lower bound matches the 2O(k2)nO(1) time algorithm given by Bui-Xuan, Telle, and Vatshelle [Discret. Appl. Math., 2010] and it answers the open question of
