Summary

Description
English: Packing and covering triangles in the complete graph K5. The maximum number of edge-disjoint triangles in this graph is two (left). If four edges are removed from the graph, the remaining subgraph becomes triangle-free, and more strongly bipartite (right). According to Tuza's conjecture, in any graph, it is possible to remove twice as many edges as the maximum triangle packing size, and eliminate all triangles.
