Abstract
We prove that if 2 2 then the number of paths of length three in a graphGof size m is at most 2m(m - k)(k - 2)=k. Equality is attained if G is the union of Kk and isolated vertices. We also give asymptotically best possible bounds for the maximal number of paths of length s, for arbitrary s, in graphs of size m. Lastly,we discuss the more general problem of maximizing the number of subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph H in graphs of size m.
