In the Subset Feedback Vertex Set (Subset FVS) problem, the input is a graph G on n vertices and m edges, a subset of vertices T, referred to as terminals, and an integer k. The …
Several min–max relations in graph theory can be expressed in the framework of the Erdős– Pósa property. Typically, this property reveals a connection between packing and covering …
The well-known theorem of Erdős and Pósa says that a graph G has either k vertex-disjoint cycles or a vertex set X of order at most f (k) such that G∖ X is a forest. Starting with this …
Abstract A (Γ 1, Γ 2)-labeled graph is an oriented graph with its edges labeled by elements of the direct sum of two groups Γ 1, Γ 2. A cycle in such a labeled graph is (Γ 1, Γ 2)-non-zero …
Abstract In the Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem, the input is a directed graph D and an integer k. The objective is to determine whether there exists a set of at most 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 Erdős-Pósa property holds for chordless …
Let H be a planar graph. By a classical result of Robertson and Seymour, there is a function f: ℕ→ ℝ such that for all k∊ ℕ and all graphs G, either G contains k vertex-disjoint subgraphs …
The well-known Erdős-Pósa theorem says that for any integer k and any graph G, either G contains k vertex-disjoint cycles or a vertex set X of order at most c· k log k (for some …
The Cycle Packing problem asks whether a given undirected graph G=(V,E) contains k vertex-disjoint cycles. Since the publication of the classic Erdös--Pósa theorem in 1965 …
