Faster exponential-time algorithms for approximately counting independent sets

Counting the independent sets of a graph is a classical #P-complete problem, even in the bipartite case. We give an exponential-time approximation scheme for this problem which is faster than the best known algorithm for the exact problem. The running time of our algorithm on general graphs with err...
