The feedback vertex set bound for planar graphs of prescribed girth
The feedback vertex set bound for planar graphs of prescribed girth
Let be a finite simple planar graph of size and girth , where the girth is the length of a shortest cycle. A feedback vertex set is a set of vertices whose removal leaves an acyclic graph.
Feedback vertex set conjecture for prescribed girth. There exists a feedback vertex set of satisfying
Equivalently, has an induced forest with at least vertices. The source presents this as a conjecture for planar graphs with given girth and provides no evidence of resolution.
