Induced Forests in Bipartite Planar Graphs

Abstract

Akiyama and Watanabe conjectured that every simple planar bipartite graph on n vertices contains an induced forest on at least 5n/8 vertices. We apply the discharging method to show that every simple bipartite planar graph on n vertices contains an induced forest on at least (4n+3)/7 vertices.
