In this paper, we show that every planar graph without 4-cycles and 6-cycles has a partition of its vertex set into two sets, where one set induces a forest, and the other induces a forest with maximum degree at most 2 (equivalently, a disjoint union of paths).Note that we can partition the vertex set of a forest into two independent sets. However a pair of independent sets combined may not induce a forest. Thus our result extends the result of Wang and Xu (2013) stating that the vertex set of every planar graph without 4-cycles and 6-cycles can be partitioned into three sets, where one induces a graph with maximum degree two, and the remaining two are independent sets.
