Abstract
We show that there is no subexponential time algorithm for computing the exact solution of the maximum independent set problem in d-regular graphs unless ETH fails. We expand our method to show that it helps to provide lower bounds for other covering problems such as vertex cover and clique. We utilize the construction to show the NP-hardness of MIS on 5-regular planar graphs, closing the exact complexity status of the problem on regular planar graphs.
