Abstract

Borradaile, Le and Sherman-Bennett [Graphs and Combinatorics, 2017] proved that every n-vertex 2-outerplane graph has a set of at least 2n/3 vertices that induces an outerplane graph. We identify a major flaw in their proof and recover their result with a different, and unfortunately much more complex, proof.
