Robertson and Seymour proved that the family of all graphs containing a fixed graph $H$ as a minor has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if and only if $H$ is planar. We show that this is no longer true for the edge version of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be an Abelian group. In this paper I characterize the $A$-paths of weight $0\in\Gamma$ that have the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property. Using this in an auxiliary graph, one can also easily characterize the $A$-paths of weight…

We characterize the obstructions to the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property of $A$-paths in unoriented group-labelled graphs. As a result, we prove that for every finite abelian group $\Gamma$ and for every subset $\Lambda$ of $\Gamma$, the family of…

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

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…

Several min-max relations in graph theory can be expressed in the framework of the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property. Typically, this property reveals a connection between packing and covering problems on graphs. We describe some recent techniques…

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…

It is known that $A$-paths of length $0$ mod $m$ satisfy the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if $m=2$ or $m=4$, but not if $m > 4$ is composite. We show that if $p$ is prime, then $A$-paths of length $0$ mod $p$ satisfy the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa…

We show that we can assume graphs that do not have the edge-Erd\H{o}s-P\'{o}sa property to be connected. Then we strengthen this result to $2$-connectivity under the additional assumptions of a minor-closed property and a generic…

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 $k$…

For a graph $H$, we say that $H$ has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property for subdivisions with function $f$, if for every graph $G$, either $G$ contains (as a subgraph) $k+1$ pairwise disjoint subdivisions of $H$ or there exists a set $X\subseteq…

We prove that the set of long cycles has the edge-Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property: for every fixed integer $\ell\ge 3$ and every $k\in\mathbb{N}$, every graph $G$ either contains $k$ edge-disjoint cycles of length at least $\ell$ (long cycles) or…

We investigate which classes of infinite graphs have the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property (EPP). In addition to the usual EPP, we also consider the following infinite variant of the EPP: a class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs has the $\kappa$-EPP, where…

A doubly group-labeled graph is an oriented graph with its edges labeled by elements of the direct sum of two groups $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$. A cycle in a doubly group-labeled graph is $(\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2)$-non-zero if it is non-zero in both…

For a group $\Gamma$, a $\Gamma$-labelled graph is an undirected graph $G$ where every orientation of an edge is assigned an element of $\Gamma$ so that opposite orientations of the same edge are assigned inverse elements. A path in $G$ is…

Let $D$ be a directed graphs with distinguished sets of sources $S\subseteq V(D)$ and sinks $T\subseteq V(D)$. A tripod in $D$ is a subgraph consisting of the union of two $S$-$T$-paths that have distinct start-vertices and the same…

A rough structure theorem is proved for graphs $G$ containing no copy of a bounded degree tree $T$: from any such $G$, one can delete $o(|G||T|)$ edges in order to get a subgraph all of whose connected components have a cover of order…

In 1986 Robertson and Seymour proved a generalization of the seminal result of Erd\H{o}s and P\'osa on the duality of packing and covering cycles: A graph has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property for minors if and only if it is planar. In…

The Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability theorem is one of the most widely used theorems in extremal graph theory. We obtain an Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits type stability theorem in multi-partite graphs. Different from the Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability…

For a simple graph $G$, let $n$ and $m$ denote the number of vertices and edges in $G$, respectively. The Erd\H{o}s-Gallai theorem for paths states that in a simple $P_k$-free graph, $m \leq \frac{n(k-1)}{2}$, where $P_k$ denotes a path…
