Partitioning a planar graph without chordal 5-cycles into two forests. (English) Zbl 07893387

Summary: It was known that the vertex set of every planar graph can be partitioned into three forests. We prove that the vertex set of a planar graph without chordal 5-cycles can be partitioned into two forests. This extends a result obtained by A. Raspaud and W. Wang [Eur. J. Comb. 29, No. 4, 1064–1075 (2008; Zbl 1144.05024)].
