On a problem of Erd\H{o}s about graphs whose size is the Tur\'{a}n number plus one
Abstract
We consider finite simple graphs. Given a graph and a positive integer the Tur\'{a}n number of for the order denoted is the maximum size of a graph of order not containing as a subgraph. Erd\H{o}s posed the following problem in 1990: "For which graphs is it true that every graph on vertices and edges contains at least two s? Perhaps this is always true." We solve the second part of this problem in the negative by proving that for every integer there exists a graph of order and at least two orders such that there exists a graph of order and size which contains exactly one copy of Denote by the -cycle. We also prove that for every integer with there exists a graph of order and size which contains exactly one copy of but for or the minimum number of copies of in a graph of order and size is
