In this paper, we classify all comaximal ideal graphs with finite independence number and present a formula to calculate this number. Also, the domination number of $mathcal{C}(R)$ for a ring $R$ is determined. In the last section, we introduce all planar and toroidal comaximal ideal graphs.

The length of the list is at most $k$ and it is created by using tournament trees. We prove the correctness of T$^{*}$ and show that its worst-case complexity is $O(m+k n log overline{d})$ in which n is the number of nodes and m is the number of arcs and $overline{d}$ is the mean degree of the graph. The algorithm has a space complexity of $O(kn)$ which entails an important improvement in space complexity.
