How many edges can be in an unbalanced bipartite graph of girth $>6$?

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a bipartite graph with $n, m$ nodes in its bipartition and girth (shortest cycle length) $>6$. There is a simple counting argument called the Moore Bounds that gives $$|E| = O\...

Extremal density of a graph without a non-backtracking $2k$-cycle

The current best bound for the maximum possible density of an $n$-node graph with girth (shortest cycle length) $>2k$ is of the form $$ex(n \ \mid \ C_{\le 2k}) = O(n^{1 + 1/k}),$$ while the ...
