The Maximum Number of Paths of Length Three in a Planar Graph
Let $f(n,H)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex planar graph. The order of magnitude of $f(n,P_k)$, where $P_k$ is a path of length $k$, is…
Planar graphs with the maximum number of induced 4-cycles or 5-cycles
For large n we determine exactly the maximum numbers of induced C4 and C5 subgraphs that a planar graph on n vertices can contain. We show that K2,n−2 uniquely achieves this maximum in the C4 case,…
Generalized outerplanar Tur\'an number of short paths
Let H be a graph. The generalized outerplanar Turán number of H, denoted by fOP(n,H), is the maximum number of copies of H in an n-vertex outerplanar graph. Let Pk be the path on k vertices. In this…
The maximum number of 10- and 12-cycles in a planar graph
For a fixed planar graph H , let NP(n,H) denote the maximum number of copies of H in an n-vertex planar graph. In the case when H is a cycle, the asymptotic value of NP(n,Cm) is currently known for m…
Planar graphs with the maximum number of induced 6-cycles
For large n we determine the maximum number of induced 6-cycles which can be contained in a planar graph on n vertices, and we classify the graphs which achieve this maximum. In particular we show…
Counting paths, cycles, and blow‐ups in planar graphs
For a planar graph H , let N P ( n, H ) denote the maximum number of copies of H in an n -vertex planar graph. In this paper, we prove that N P ( n, P 7 ) ∼ 427 n 4 , N P ( n, C 6 ) ∼ ( n/ 3) 3 , N P…
Bounding the number of odd paths in planar graphs via convex optimization
TLDR
This paper improves upon the previously best known bound by a factor e m, which is best possible up to the hidden constant, and makes a significant step towards resolving conjectures of Gosh et al. and of Cox and Martin.
On the maximum number of edges in planar graphs of bounded degree and matching number
We determine the maximum number of edges that a planar graph can have as a function of its maximum degree and matching number.

On the number of cycles of length k in a maximal planar graph
TLDR
Bounds are given for Ck(G) when 5 ≤ k ≤ p, and in particular bounds for Cp(G), in terms of p are considered, in particular for C3 and C4.

A note on the maximum number of triangles in a C5‐free graph
We prove that the maximum number of triangles in a C 5 ‐free graph on n vertices is at most 122(1+o(1))n3∕2 , improving an estimate of Alon and Shikhelman.
The Maximum Number of Triangles in C2k+1-Free Graphs
Upper and lower bounds are proved for the maximum number of triangles in C2k+1-free graphs. The bounds involve extremal numbers related to appropriate even cycles.

TLDR
It is proved that the maximum number of triangles in a C_5-free graph on n vertices is at most 1 + o(1) n 3/2, and a connection to r-uniform hypergraphs without (Berge) cycles of length less than six is shown.
