Title
Maximum acyclic and fragmented sets in regular graphs
Abstract
We show that a typical d-regular graph G of ordern does not contain an induced forest with around2Ind/d vertices, when n d 1, this bound being best possible because of aresult of Frieze and Luczak [6]. We then deduce an affirmativeanswer to an open question of Edwards and Farr (see [4]) aboutfragmentability, which concerns large subgraphs with components ofbounded size. An alternative, direct answer to the question is alsogiven. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 57:149156, 2008
