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 that the maximum is achieved by the graph obtained by blowing up three pairwise non-adjacent vertices in a 6-cycle to sets of as even size as possible, and that every extremal example closely resembles this graph. This extends previous work by the author which solves the problem for 4-cycles and 5-cycles. The 5-cycle problem was also solved independently by Ghosh, Gy\H{o}ri, Janzer, Paulos, Salia, and Zamora.

  1. The maximum number of odd cycles in planar graphs forbidding shorter odd cycles

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5

    For every k≥3 and all large n, the maximum number of C_{2k+1} in an n-vertex planar graph with no shorter odd cycle equals the maximum product of k positive integers summing to n-k-1.
