C++ Program to Find the Size of Largest Independent Set (LIS) in a Binary Tree

This is a C++ Program to find largest independent set in a binary tree. In graph theory, an independent set or stable set is a set of vertices in a graph, no two of which are adjacent. That is, it is a set I of vertices such that for every two vertices in I, there is no edge connecting the two. Equivalently, each edge in the graph has at most one endpoint in I. The size of an independent set is the number of vertices it contains. Independent sets have also been called internally stable sets. A maximal independent set is either an independent set such that adding any other vertex to the set forces the set to contain an edge or the set of all vertices of the empty graph.

Here is source code of the C++ Program to Find Size of the Largest Independent Set(LIS) in a Given a Binary Tree. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
