Abstract

The generalized Tur\'{a}n number ex(G,H){\rm ex}(G,H) is the maximum number of edges in an HH-free subgraph of a graph G.G. It is an important extension of the classical Tur\'{a}n number ex(n,H){\rm ex}(n,H), which is the maximum number of edges in a graph with nn vertices that does not contain HH as a subgraph. In this paper, we consider the maximum number of edges in an even-cycle-free subgraph of the doubled Johnson graphs J(n;k,k+1)J(n;k,k+1), which are bipartite subgraphs of hypercube graphs. We give an upper bound for ex(J(n;k,k+1),C2r){\rm ex}(J(n;k,k+1),C_{2r}) with any fixed kZ+k\in\mathbb{Z}^+ and any nZ+n\in\mathbb{Z}^+ with n2k+1.n\geq 2k+1. We also give an upper bound for ex(J(2k+1;k,k+1),C2r){\rm ex}(J(2k+1;k,k+1),C_{2r}) with any kZ+,k\in\mathbb{Z}^+, where J(2k+1;k,k+1)J(2k+1;k,k+1) is known as doubled Odd graph O~k+1.\widetilde{O}_{k+1}. This bound induces that the number of edges in any C2rC_{2r}-free subgraph of O~k+1\widetilde{O}_{k+1} is o(e(O~k+1))o(e(\widetilde{O}_{k+1})) for r6,r\geq 6, which also implies a Ramsey-type result.
