Abstract

For a given graph HH, we say that a graph GG has a perfect HH-subdivision tiling if GG contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of HH covering all vertices of G.G. Let δsub(n,H)\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H) be the smallest integer kk such that any nn-vertex graph GG with minimum degree at least kk has a perfect HH-subdivision tiling. For every graph HH, we asymptotically determined the value of δsub(n,H)\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H). More precisely, for every graph HH with at least one edge, there is an integer hcfξ(H)\mathrm{hcf}_{\xi}(H) and a constant 1<ξ(H)21 < \xi^*(H)\leq 2 that can be explicitly determined by structural properties of HH such that δsub(n,H)=(11ξ(H)+o(1))n\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{\xi^*(H)} + o(1) \right)n holds for all nn and HH unless hcfξ(H)=2\mathrm{hcf}_{\xi}(H) = 2 and nn is odd. When hcfξ(H)=2\mathrm{hcf}_{\xi}(H) = 2 and nn is odd, then we show that δsub(n,H)=(12+o(1))n\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H) = \left(\frac{1}{2} + o(1) \right)n.
