At first, solution space was constructed by using appropriate DNA memory complexes. We defined a new operation called “divide” and applied it in construction of solution space. Then, by application of a sticker based parallel algorithm using biological operations, independent set problem was resolved in polynomial time.enParallel ComputingSticker Based DNA ComputersIndependent Set ProblemNP-Complete ProblemSolving the independent set problem by sticker based DNA computersArticle
