Peter Jonsson, Marco Kuhlmann

TL;DR
This paper proves that finding the largest subgraph embeddable into a k-book with a fixed vertex order is NP-complete for any k greater than or equal to 2, highlighting computational complexity challenges.
Contribution

Abstract
Given a graph with a total order defined on its vertices, the Maximum Pagenumber- Subgraph Problem asks for a maximum subgraph of such that can be embedded into a -book when the vertices are placed on the spine according to the specified total order. We show that this problem is NP-complete for .
