Borradaile–Le–Sherman-Bennett conjecture on induced outerplanar subgraphs

From papers

Let GG be a planar graph of order nn. The outerplanar subgraph number so(G)s_o(G) is the maximum order of an induced outerplanar subgraph of GG.

Borradaile–Le–Sherman-Bennett conjecture.

so(G)2n3.s_o(G)\ge\frac{2n}{3}.

The bound is known for 2-outerplanar graphs, but the general planar case remains open.
