In 1975, P. Erd\H os proposed the problem of determining the maximum number $f(n)$ of edges in a graph with $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. The sequence $(c_1,c_2,\cdots,c_n)$ is the cycle length distribution of a graph $G$ of order $n$， where $c_i$ is the number of cycles of length $i$ in $G$. Let $f(a_1,a_2,\cdots,$ $a_n)$ denote the maximum possible number of edges in a graph which satisfies $c_i\leq a_i$ where $a_i$ is a nonnegative integer. In 1991, Shi posed the problem of determining $f(a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n)，$ which extended the problem due to Erd\H os, it is clear that $f(n)=f(1,1,\cdots,1)$. Let $g(n,m)=f(a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n),$ $a_i=1$ for all $i/m$ be integer, $a_i=0$ for all $i/m$ be not integer. It is clear that $f(n)=g(n,1)$. We prove that $\liminf\sb {n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} \geq \sqrt {2 + \frac{40}{99}},$ which is better than the previous bounds $\sqrt 2$ (Shi, 1988), $\sqrt {2 + \frac{7654}{19071}}$ (Lai, 2017). We show that $\liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} {g(n,m)-n\over \sqrt \frac{n}{m}} > \sqrt {2.444},$ for all even integers $m$. We make the following conjecture: $\liminf\sb {n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} > \sqrt {2.444}.$

Let $f(n)$ be the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices in which no two cycles have the same length. In 1975, Erdos raised the problem of determining $f(n)$ (see J.A. Bondy and U.S.R. Murty, Graph Theory with Applications (Macmillan, New York, 1976), p.247, Problem 11). Given a graph $H$, what is the maximum number of edges of a graph with $n$ vertices not containing $H$ as a subgraph? This number is denoted $ex(n,H)$, and is known as the Turan number. Erdos conjectured that there exists a positive constant $c$ such that $ex(n,C_{2k})\geq cn^{1+1/k}$(see P. Erdos, Some unsolved problems in graph theory and combinatorial analysis, Combinatorial Mathematics and its Applications (Proc. Conf., Oxford, 1969) , pp. 97--109, Academic Press, London, 1971). Haj\'{o}s conjectured that every simple even graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $n/2$ cycles (see L. Lovasz, On covering of graphs, in: P. Erdos, G.O.H. Katona (Eds.), Theory of Graphs, Academic Press, New York, 1968, pp. 231 - 236 ). We present the problems, conjectures related to these problems and we summarize the know results.

In this paper, we show that every $(2^{n-1}+1)$-vertex induced subgraph of the $n$-dimensional cube graph has maximum degree at least $\sqrt{n}$. This result is best possible, and improves a logarithmic lower bound shown by Chung, F\"uredi, Graham and Seymour in 1988. As a direct consequence, we prove that the sensitivity and degree of a boolean function are polynomially related, solving an outstanding foundational problem in theoretical computer science, the Sensitivity Conjecture of Nisan and Szegedy.

Let $f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}q^{n(n-1)/2}x^n$ ($0<q<1$) be the deformed exponential function. It is known that the zeros of $f(x)$ are real and form a negative decreasing sequence $(x_k)$ ($k\ge 1$). We investigate the complete asymptotic expansion for $x_{k}$ and prove that for any $n\ge1$, as $k\to \infty$, \begin{align*} x_k=-kq^{1-k}\Big(1+\sum_{i=1}^{n}C_i(q)k^{-1-i}+o(k^{-1-n})\Big), \end{align*} where $C_i(q)$ are some $q$ series which can be determined recursively. We show that each $C_{i}(q)\in \mathbb{Q}[A_0,A_1,A_2]$, where $A_{i}=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}m^i\sigma(m)q^m$ and $\sigma(m)$ denotes the sum of positive divisors of $m$. When writing $C_{i}$ as a polynomial in $A_0, A_1$ and $A_2$, we find explicit formulas for the coefficients of the linear terms by using Bernoulli numbers. Moreover, we also prove that $C_{i}(q)\in \mathbb{Q}[E_2,E_4,E_6]$, where $E_2$, $E_4$ and $E_6$ are the classical Eisenstein series of weight 2, 4 and 6, respectively.
