The circular law asserts that the spectral measure of eigenvalues of rescaled random matrices without symmetry assumption converges to the uniform measure on the unit disk. We prove a local version of this law at any point z away from the unit circle. More precisely, if ||z|−1|≥τ for arbitrarily small τ>0, the circular law is valid around z up to scale $N^{-1/2+ \e}$ for any $\e > 0$ under the assumption that the distributions of the matrix entries satisfy a uniform subexponential decay condition.

Let $f(n)$ be the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices in which no two cycles have the same length. P. 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). We present the problems, conjectures related to this problems and we summarize the know results. We make the following conjecture: \par \noindent{\bf Conjecture } $$\lim\sb {n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} = \sqrt {2 + \frac{4}{9}}.$$
