Hitting minors, subdivisions, and immersions in tournaments
Abstract
The Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property relates parameters of covering and packing of combinatorial structures and has been mostly studied in the setting of undirected graphs. In this note, we use results of Chudnovsky, Fradkin, Kim, and Seymour to show that, for every directed graph (resp. strongly-connected directed graph ), the class of directed graphs that contain as a strong minor (resp. butterfly minor, topological minor) has the vertex-Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property in the class of tournaments. We also prove that if is a strongly-connected directed graph, the class of directed graphs containing as an immersion has the edge-Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property in the class of tournaments.
