Tight bounds for divisible subdivisions

2021 
Alon and Krivelevich proved that for every $n$-vertex subcubic graph $H$ and every integer $q \ge 2$ there exists a (smallest) integer $f=f(H,q)$ such that every $K_f$-minor contains a subdivision of $H$ in which the length of every subdivision-path is divisible by $q$. Improving their superexponential bound, we show that $f(H,q) \le \frac{21}{2}qn+8n+14q$, which is optimal up to a constant multiplicative factor.
