Hakimi and Schmeichel determined a sharp lower bound for the number of cycles of length 4 in a maximal planar graph with $n$ vertices, $n\geq 5$. It has been shown that the bound is sharp for $n = 5,12$ and $n\geq 14$ vertices. However, the…

We study the energy per vertex in regular graphs. For every k, we give an upper bound for the energy per vertex of a k-regular graph, and show that a graph attains the upper bound if and only if it is the disjoint union of incidence graphs…

Let $f(n,H)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex planar graph. The order of magnitude of $f(n,P_k)$, where $P_k$ is a path on $k$ vertices, is $n^{{\lfloor{\frac{k-1}{2}}\rfloor}+1}$. In this paper we determine the…

The general spectral radius of a graph $G$, denoted by $\Theta(G,\alpha)$, is the maximal eigenvalue of $M_{\alpha}(G)=A(G)+\alpha D(G)$ $(\alpha\geq 0)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the diagonal matrix of vertex…
