Stability of independence polynomials of spiders

For a graph $G$, let $i_k(G)$ denote the number of independent sets of cardinality $k$, and let \[ I(G,z)=\sum_{k\ge0} i_k(G)z^k \] be its independence polynomial. Following Brown and Cameron \cite{BrownCameron2018}, a graph is called stable if all zeros of its independence polynomial li
