The main topic considered is maximizing the number of cycles in a graph with given number of edges. In 2009, Kir\'aly conjectured that there is constant $c$ such that any graph with $m$ edges has at most $(1.4)^m$ cycles. In this paper, it…

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a graph $G$ together with an assignment $\sigma$ of either a positive sign or a negative sign to each edge. A signed graph is unbalanced if it contains a cycle with odd number of negative edges. The spectral…
