WOWII Conjecture 18

For a simple connected graph $G$, the size $b(G)$ of a largest induced bipartite subgraph satisfies $b(G) \ge \alpha(G) + \lceil \sqrt{\mathrm{eccSet}(G, M)} \rceil$, where $\alpha(G)$ is the independence number, $M$ is the set of maximum-degree vertices, and $\mathrm{eccSet}(G, M)$ is the set eccentricity of $M$ — the maximum over all vertices of the minimum distance from that vertex to $M$. We use the SimpleGraph.eccSet invariant.
