Counting simple 4-cycles in an undirected graph

The number of 4-cycles is $$\frac{1}{2}\sum_{\lbrace v,w\rbrace} \binom{c(v,w)}{2},$$ where the sum is over the $\binom{V}{2}$ pairs of vertices and $c(v,w)$ is the number of common neighbours of $v$ and …

Need input on a potentially NP-hard maximal edge-weighted multi-cycle graph

For directed graphs, or undirected graphs where edges are treated as cycles of length 2 (so their weight counts twice), it is easy to do it in polynomial time using a maximum matching algorithm. …
