Dross–Montassier–Pinlou conjecture on feedback vertex sets in large-girth planar graphs
Let be a planar graph of girth at least , and let be its number of edges. Let denote the minimum size of a feedback vertex set of , that is, a vertex set whose deletion leaves a forest.
Dross–Montassier–Pinlou conjecture. Every planar graph of girth at least satisfies
The abstract states that this conjecture is confirmed in the paper, so it is solved.
