Massive Instances for the MIDS problem

In the paper "An improved master-apprentice evolutionary algorithm for minimum independent dominating set problem", by Pan et. al., 2023, published in Front. Comput. Sci., 17(4): 174326 , the authors use a dataset of massive networks to test heuristic methods of finding solutions for the Minimum Independent Dominating Set (MIDS) problem.

I am doing my own research on the MIDS problem, and I found that even when finding these instances on the Network Repository , they are not standirdized, making dificcult to work with them.

Thus, I have standardized all instances to the Matrix Market file format (.mtx) and compressed then with 7ZIP to the .7z format, as this was more space efficient than compressing to the .zip format.

I choose the Creative Commons Share Alike license as it is the same used by the Network Repository, where I originally got the data.

I hope this can be useful to anyone who will work with these instances for the MIDS problem or any other problem in the future.
