Abstract

In this paper, we obtain two variables for the connected (p,q)-graphs G which is the minimum size of an independent monophonic set and an outer independent
monophonic set of G, termed as an independent monophonic number and an outer independent monophonic number of the connected (p,q)-graphs G, respectively.
