A family ${\mathcal F}$ of graphs has the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property if for every graph $G$, the maximum number of pairwise disjoint subgraphs isomorphic to members of ${\mathcal F}$ contained in $G$ and the minimum size of a set of vertices of $G$ hitting all such subgraphs are bounded by functions of each other. Robertson and Seymour proved that if ${\mathcal F}$ consists of $H$-minors for some fixed graph $H$, then the planarity of $H$ is equivalent with the Erd\H{o}s-P\'osa property. Thomas… Expand

The structure is not satisfied by graphs that contain a subdivision of a graph $H_3$ that has similar embedding properties as $H$ and has the same maximum degree as £H\$. Expand

It is proved that for a fixed H, every graph excluding H as a topological subgraph has a tree decomposition where each part is either "almost embeddable" to a fixed surface or has bounded degree with the exception of a bounded number of vertices. Expand
A stronger structure theorem for excluded topological minors
This work strengthensGrohe and Marx's result, giving a more precise description of the latter kind of basic graphs of the decomposition, and only allows graphs that (almost) embed in ways that are impossible for H. Expand

It is shown that treewidth is bounded by a function of the diameter in a minor-closed family, if and only if some apex graph does not belong to the family, and the O(D) bound above can be extended to bounded-genus graphs. Expand

It is shown that for any finite collection of d-intervals that contains no k + 1 pairwise disjoint members, there is a set of O(dk) points that intersects each member of the collection, and if the quadratic dependence on d is indeed best possible, Kaiser’s estimate is indeed better by roughly a factor of 2.

Half integral packing, Erdős-Posá-property and graph minors
This problem is motivated by the study of the half disjoint paths problem and unspilittable flow problem, e.g. the structure of graphs with no <i>K</i><inf>6</inf>-minor, and it is proved that this problem is solvable in polynomial time. Expand
