We prove that for every graph, any vertex subset $S$, and given integers $k,\ell$: there are $k$ disjoint cycles of length at least $\ell$ that each contain at least one vertex from $S$, or a vertex set of size $O(\ell \cdot k \log k)$ that…

A classic theorem of Erd\H{o}s and P\'osa (1965) states that every graph has either $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles or a set of $O(k \log k)$ vertices meeting all its cycles. While the standard proof revolves around finding a large `frame' in…

A classic result of Erd\H{o}s and P\'osa says that any graph contains either $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles or can be made acyclic by deleting at most $O(k \log k)$ vertices. Here we generalize this result by showing that for all numbers $k$…

A conjecture of Birmel\'e, Bondy and Reed states that for any integer $\ell\geq 3$, every graph $G$ without two vertex-disjoint cycles of length at least $\ell$ contains a set of at most $\ell$ vertices which meets all cycles of length at…

For a fixed integer $\ell$ a path is long if its length is at least $\ell$. We prove that for all integers $k$ and $\ell$ there is a number $f(k,\ell)$ such that for every graph $G$ and vertex sets $A,B$ the graph $G$ either contains $k$…

In this short note we prove that for every $k\in \mathbb{N}$ there is a $t_k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that for every digraph $G$ there are either $k$ edge-disjoint directed cycles in $G$ or a set $X$ of at most $t_k$ edges such that $G-X$…

An induced packing of cycles in a graph is a set of vertex-disjoint cycles with no edges between them. We generalise the classic Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa theorem to induced packings of cycles. More specifically, we show that there exist functions…

I prove that even $A$-cycles have the edge-Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property.

We show the following for every sufficiently connected graph $G$, any vertex subset $S$ of $G$, and given integer $k$: there are $k$ disjoint odd cycles in $G$ each containing a vertex of $S$ or there is set $X$ of at most $2k-2$ vertices…

We prove that for every $t \in \mathbb{N}$, prime-length cycles do not have the $\frac{1}{t}$-integral Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property, even when restricted to planar graphs. We in fact prove a more general density result. For every $t \in…

We prove that there exists a bivariate function f with f(k,l) = O(l k log k) such that for every naturals k and l, every graph G has at least k vertex-disjoint cycles of length at least l or a set of at most f(k,l) vertices that meets all…

We prove that there exists a function $f(k)=\mathcal{O}(k^2 \log k)$ such that for every $C_4$-free graph $G$ and every $k \in \mathbb{N}$, $G$ either contains $k$ vertex-disjoint holes of length at least $6$, or a set $X$ of at most $f(k)$…

A chordless cycle, or equivalently a hole, in a graph $G$ is an induced subgraph of $G$ which is a cycle of length at least $4$. We prove that the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property holds for chordless cycles, which resolves the major open question…

In this short note, we prove that for \beta < 1/5 every graph G with n vertices and n^{2-\beta} edges contains a subgraph G' with at least cn^{2-2\beta} edges such that every pair of edges in G' lie together on a cycle of length at most 8.…

We prove that every graph $G$ contains either $k$ edge-disjoint $K_4$-subdivisions or a set $X$ of at most $O(k^8 \log k)$ edges such that $G-X$ does not contain any $K_4$-subdivision. This shows that $K_4$-subdivisions have the…

We prove that there exist functions $f,g:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ such that for all nonnegative integers $k$ and $d$, for every graph $G$, either $G$ contains $k$ cycles such that vertices of different cycles have distance greater than $d$…

The classical Erd\H{o}s-P\'{o}sa theorem states that for each positive integer k there is an f(k) such that, in each graph G which does not have k+1 disjoint cycles, there is a blocker of size at most f(k); that is, a set B of at most f(k)…

For every $r\in \mathbb{N}$, we denote by $\theta_{r}$ the multigraph with two vertices and $r$ parallel edges. Given a graph $G$, we say that a subgraph $H$ of $G$ is a model of $\theta_{r}$ in $G$ if $H$ contains $\theta_{r}$ as a…

An $r$-uniform linear cycle of length $\ell$, denoted by $C^r_{\ell}$, is an $r$-graph with $\ell$ edges $e_1,e_2,\dots,e_{\ell}$ where $e_i=\{v_{(r-1)(i-1)},v_{(r-1)(i-1)+1},\dots,v_{(r-1)i}\}$ (here $v_0=v_{(r-1)\ell}$). For $0<\delta<1$…

In 1975, Erd\H{o}s asked the following natural question: What is the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex graph can have without containing a cycle with all diagonals? Erd\H{o}s observed that the upper bound $O(n^{5/3})$ holds since…
