In this paper, we consider the Cycle Packing problem on a unit disk graph defined as follows. Given a unit disk graph G with n vertices and an integer k, the goal is to find a set of k vertex-disjoint cycles of G if it exists. Our algorithm runs in time 2^O(√k) n^O(1). This improves the 2^O(√klog k) n^O(1)-time algorithm by Fomin et al. [SODA 2012, ICALP 2017]. Moreover, our algorithm is optimal assuming the exponential-time hypothesis.
