And obviously there will be no trivial vertex which has only 2 edges. I think triangle free graphs are (subjectively) easier than complicated graphs, i wonder if you know some heuristic approaches/steps specificly for triangle free graphs. Thanks in advance

Welcome to CS.SE! Have you done any research? e.g., searched with Google Scholar? It's helpful to know what you've already done, so we don't repeat things you've already tried. – D.W. Jun 29 '17 at 06:42

i haven't really searched specificly for triangle free graphs, i am now for about an hour. i am asking this question also as a starting point – xcvbnm Jun 29 '17 at 07:01

If you're willing to consider not just triangle-free, but all odd-cycle free graphs then you get a very nice class of graphs - bipartite graphs. You can have a look at the discussion here for how to find a maximum independent set in Bipartite graphs – Peeyush Kushwaha Jun 29 '17 at 14:21
