The maximum independence number of Steiner triple systems of order v is well-known. Motivated by questions of access balancing in storage systems, we determine the maximum total cardinality of a pair of disjoint independent sets of Steiner triple systems of order v for all admissible orders.
Upper bounds for α d,maxHaddad and Rödl [10, Proposition 1.2] establish that α d,max (v) ≤ 4 5 v + 1 = 4v+5 5
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
