A sharp asymptotic bound for odd cycles in planar graphs

For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $\mathbf N(G,H)$ denote the number of unlabeled, not necessarily induced copies of $H$ in $G$, and let $\mathbf N_{\mathcal P}(n,H)$ be the maximum of $\mathbf N(G,H)$ over all $n$-vertex planar graphs $G$. We prove that, for every fixed integer $m\geq 3$, $$\mathbf N_{\mathcal P}(n,C_{2m+1})=2m\left(\frac{n}{m}\right)^m+O_m\!\left(n^{m-1/5}\right).$$ The proof uses a sharp weighted cycle--path inequality for edge probability measures on finite complete graphs. This strengthens a conjecture of Heath, Martin, and Wells and, together with their reduction lemma, yields the stated asymptotic formula.

A subquadratic bound for generalized Tur\'an numbers of odd cycles

For a graph $H$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal F$, let $\text{ex}(n,H,\mathcal F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $\mathcal F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. For every integer $i\ge 3$, let $C_i$ denote the cycle of length $i$. For $r\ge 3$, set $\mathscr {C}_r=\{C_3,C_4,\ldots,C_r\},$ and set $\mathscr {C}_2=\varnothing$. In this paper, we prove that, for all integers $l>k\ge 2$, $$ \text{ex}(n,C_{2k+1},\mathscr {C}_{2k}\cup\{C_{2l+1}\}) =O_{k,l} \left(n^{2-\frac{1}{k(k+1)(l-k)}}\ \ \right). $$ Together with the known upper bounds for the number of triangles in $C_{2l+1}$-free graphs, this confirms a conjecture of Gerbner, Gy\H{o}ri, Methuku, and Vizer.
