Title
Counting paths, cycles, and blow-ups in planar graphs
Abstract
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) similar to 4/27n(4), N-p(n, C-6)similar to (n/3)(3), N-p(n, C-8) similar to (n/4)(4), and N-p(n, K-4 {1}) similar to (n/6)(6), where K-4{1} is the 1-subdivision of K-4. In addition, we obtain significantly improved upper bounds on N-p(n, P2m+1) and N-p(n, C-2m) for m >= 4. For a wide class of graphs H, the key technique developed in this paper allows us to bound N-p(n, H) in terms of an optimization problem over weighted graphs.
