Sparsity helps for k-independent set only below certain density thresholds, with new algorithms achieving O(min(n^{ωk/3} + m^{k/3}, n^k)) time and conditional lower bounds showing brute-force necessity above thresholds for many binary constraint families.

When Does Sparsity Help for k-Independent Set in Hypergraphs and Other Boolean CSPs?
Sparsity helps for k-independent set only below certain density thresholds, with new algorithms achieving O(min(n^{ωk/3} + m^{k/3}, n^k)) time and conditional lower bounds showing brute-force necessity above thresholds for many binary constraint families.
