Abstract

A set of vertices in a graph is connected if it induces a connected subgraph. Using Shearer's entropy lemma and a computer search, we show that the number of connected sets in a graph with n vertices and maximum vertex degree d is at most O(1.9351n) for d=3, O(1.9812n) for d=4, and O(1.9940n) for d=5. Dually, we construct infinite families of graphs where the number of connected sets is at least Ω(1.7651n) for d=3, Ω(1.8925n) for d=4, and Ω(1.9375n) for d=5.
