It is shown, that for each constant k ≥ 1, the following problems can be solved in O(n) time: given a graph G, determine whether G has k vertex disjoint cycles, determine whether G has k edge disjoint cycles, determine whether G has a feedback vertex set of size ≤ k. Also, every class G, that is closed under minor taking, or that is closed under immersion taking, and that does not contain the graph formed by taking the disjoint union of k copies of K3, has an O(n) membership test algorithm.
