We exhibit an algorithm for finding a maximum independent set (MIS) for n presorted, unweighted circular arcs in time 0( n ). Unlike previous algorithms, this is achieved by means of trivial postprocessing of the output of a straightforward algorithm for finding an MIS for a set of unweighted intervals. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
