Is there any study on the bounds on the number of even cycles for planar bipartite graphs?
In 1979, Hakimi and Schmeichel [1] initiated such a study by determining the maximum number of triangles and 4-cycles possible in an $n$-vertex planar graph (see also [2] for a small correction).
[1] ...

Can the vertices of a planar graph of min degree 3 be covered with edges of average weight ( sum of degrees) at most 14?
Consider a planar graph where every vertex is incident to at least 3 edges, and assign to each edge a weight equal to the sum of the degrees of its endpoints.
If not, what is the smallest n so that ...

Sharp upper bound of the number of edges for graphs of thickness two
A graph $G=(V,E)$ has thickness $2$ if $E$ can be written as a disjoint union $E=E_1\cup E_2$ so that $G_1:=(V,E_1),G_2:=(V,E_2)$ are planar graphs. For instance, $K_5$ has thickness $2$. It is known ...

On planar graphs with specific spanning tree count and poly number of vertices
Given set $\mathcal T_n=\{0,1,3,4\dots,2^n-1\}$ (note there is no $2$) what is the minimum number of vertices $m$ needed in a planar graph such that at every $i\in\mathcal T_n$ there is a graph $G\in\...
