The proof of the removable pair conjecture for fractional dimension

In 1971 Trotter conjectured that every finite poset on at least $3$ points has a pair whose removal does not decrease the dimension by more than $1$. In 1992 Brightwell and Scheinerman introduced fractional dimension of posets, and they made a similar conjecture for fractional dimension. This paper settles this latter conjecture.
