Packing minor-closed families of graphs into complete graphs

Abstract

Motivated by a conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as, recently B\"ottcher, Hladk\'y, Piguet, and Taraz showed that every collection T1,,TtT_1,\dots,T_t of trees on nn vertices with i=1te(Ti)(n2)\sum_{i=1}^te(T_i)\leq \binom{n}{2} and with bounded maximum degree, can be packed into the complete graph on (1+o(1))n(1+o(1))n vertices. We generalise this result where we relax the restriction of packing families of trees to families of graphs of any given non-trivial minor-closed class of graphs.
