Abstract
The Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem states that for every graph on vertices with more than edges contains a cycle of length at least . Kopylov proved a strengthening of this result for 2-connected graphs with extremal examples and . In this note, we generalize the result of Kopylov to bound the number of -cliques in a graph with circumference less than . Furthermore, we show that the same extremal examples that maximize the number of edges also maximize the number of cliques of any fixed size. Finally, we obtain the extremal number of -cliques in a graph with no path on -vertices.
