abstract

Bollob\'as proved that for every $k$ and $\ell$ such that $k\mathbb{Z}+\ell$ contains an even number, an $n$-vertex graph containing no cycle of length $\ell \bmod k$ can contain at most a linear number of edges. The precise (or asymptotic) value of the maximum number of edges in such a graph is known for very few pairs $\ell$ and $k$. In this work we precisely determine the maximum number of edges in a graph containing no cycle of length $0 \bmod 4$.

  1. On $2$-connected graphs avoiding cycles of length $0$ modulo $4$

    math.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Every 2-connected n-vertex graph with more than floor((3n-1)/2) edges contains a cycle whose length is a multiple of 4, and this bound is sharp for all n at least 12.

  2. A note on two cycles of consecutive even lengths in graphs

    math.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    If an n-vertex graph has at least 10q + binom(r+1,2) edges, where n-1 = 4q+r, then it contains two cycles of consecutive even lengths unless it is a chain of K5 blocks and one K_{r+1} block.
