WOWII Conjecture 65:
For a simple connected graph $G$, the size $f(G)$ of a largest induced forest satisfies
$f(G) \ge \operatorname{dist\_min}(A) + \lceil \operatorname{dist\_min}(M) / 3 \rceil$,
where $A$ is the set of minimum-degree vertices, $M$ is the set of maximum-degree vertices,
and $\operatorname{dist\_min}(S) = \min_{v \notin S} \operatorname{dist}(v, S)$ (see distMin).
