Abstract

In 1975 Pippenger and Golumbic proved that any graph on n vertices admits at most 2e(n/k)^k induced k-cycles. This bound is larger by a multiplicative factor of 2e than the simple lower bound obtained by a blow-up construction. Pippenger and Golumbic conjectured that the latter lower bound is essentially tight. In the present paper we establish a better upper bound of (128e/81)⋅(n/k)^k. This constitutes the first progress towards proving the aforementioned conjecture since it was posed.
