Zusammenfassung:Graph transformations proved useful for many algorithmic problems. In the present paper, we study this tool with respect to the maximum stable set problem. We first review available results on this topic and then propose an approach to uniformly describe and systematically develop graph transformations that do not change the size of a maximum stable set in the graph. The approach is illustrated by a number of new transformations.
