We study the Independent Set problem in H -free graphs, i.e., graphs excluding some fixed graph H as an induced subgraph. We prove several inapproximability results both for polynomial-time and parameterized algorithms. Halldórsson [SODA 1995] showed that for every $$\delta >0$$ δ > 0 the Independent Set problem has a polynomial-time $$(\frac{d-1}{2}+\delta )$$ ( d - 1 2 + δ ) -approximation algorithm in $$K_{1,d}$$ K 1 , d -free graphs. We extend this result by showing that $$K_{a,b}$$ K a , b -free graphs admit a polynomial-time $${\mathcal {O}}(\alpha (G)^{1-1/a})$$ O ( α ( G ) 1 - 1 / a ) -approximation, where $$\alpha (G)$$ α ( G ) is the size of a maximum independent set in G . Furthermore, we complement the result of Halldórsson by showing that for some $$\gamma =\Theta (d/\log d),$$ γ = Θ ( d / log d ) , there is no polynomial-time $$\gamma $$ γ -approximation algorithm for these graphs, unless NP = ZPP . Bonnet et al. [Algorithmica 2020] showed that Independent Set parameterized by the size k of the independent set is W[1] -hard on graphs which do not contain (1) a cycle of constant length at least 4, (2) the star $$K_{1,4}$$ K 1 , 4 , and (3) any tree with two vertices of degree at least 3 at constant distance. We strengthen this result by proving three inapproximability results under different complexity assumptions for almost the same class of graphs (we weaken conditions (1) and (2) that G does not contain a cycle of constant length at least 5 or $$K_{1,5}$$ K 1 , 5 ). First, under the ETH, there is no $$f(k) \cdot n^{o(k/\log k)}$$ f ( k ) · n o ( k / log k ) algorithm for any computable function f . Then, under the deterministic Gap-ETH, there is a constant $$\delta >0$$ δ > 0 such that no $$\delta $$ δ -approximation can be computed in $$f(k) \cdot n^{O(1)}$$ f ( k ) · n O ( 1 ) time. Also, under the stronger randomized Gap-ETH there is no such approximation algorithm with runtime $$f(k) \cdot n^{o(\sqrt{k})}$$ f ( k ) · n o ( k ) . Finally, we consider the parameterization by the excluded graph H , and show that under the ETH, Independent Set has no $$n^{o(\alpha (H))}$$ n o ( α ( H ) ) algorithm in H -free graphs. Also, we prove that there is no $$d/k^{o(1)}$$ d / k o ( 1 ) -approximation algorithm for $$K_{1,d}$$ K 1 , d -free graphs with runtime $$f(d,k) \cdot n^{{\mathcal {O}}(1)}$$ f ( d , k ) · n O ( 1 ) , under the deterministic Gap-ETH.
