At first, solution space was constructed by using appropriate DNA memory complexes. We defined a new operation called ˇ°divideˇ± 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. %K Parallel Computing %K Sticker Based DNA Computers %K Independent Set Problem %K NP-Complete Problem %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=18951
