An Induced $A$-Path Theorem

Given a graph $G$ and $\mathcal{A}\subseteq V(G)$, a classical theorem of Gallai (1964) states that for every positive integer $k$, the graph $G$ contains $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint $\mathcal{A}$-paths, or a set $Z\subseteq V(G)$ of size at most $2(k-1)$ such that $G-Z$ contains no $\mathcal{A}$-p
