The theta graph $Theta_{ell,t}$ consists of two vertices joined by $t$ vertex-disjoint paths of length $ell$ each. For fixed odd $ell$ and large $t$, we show that the largest graph not containing $Theta_{ell,t}$ has at most $c_{ell} t^{1-1/ell}n^{1+1/ell}$ edges and that this is tight apart from the value of $c_{ell}$.

Let $mathrm{rex}(n, F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that is regular and does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. We give lower bounds on $mathrm{rex}(n, F)$, that are best possible up to a constant factor, when $F$ is one of $C_4$, $K_{2,t}$, $K_{3,3}$ or $K_{s,t}$ when $t>s!$.
For given graphs $G$ and $F$, the Turan number $ex(G,F)$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Foucaud, Krivelevich and Perarnau and later independently Briggs and Cox introduced a dual version of this problem wherein for a given number $k$, one maximizes the number of edges in a host graph $G$ for which $ex(G,H) < k$. Addressing a problem of Briggs and Cox, we determine the asymptotic value of the inverse Turan number of the paths of length $4$ and $5$ and provide an improved lower bound for all paths of even length. Moreover, we obtain bounds on the inverse Turan number of even cycles giving improved bounds on the leading coefficient in the case of $C_4$. Finally, we give multiple conjectures concerning the asymptotic value of the inverse Turan number of $C_4$ and $P_{ell}$, suggesting that in the latter problem the asymptotic behavior depends heavily on the parity of $ell$.
We call a $4$-cycle in $K_{n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3}}$ multipartite, denoted by $C_{4}^{text{multi}}$, if it contains at least one vertex in each part of $K_{n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3}}$. The Turan number $text{ex}(K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}, C_{4}^{text{multi}})$ $bigg($ respectively, $text{ex}(K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}},{C_{3}, C_{4}^{text{multi}}})$ $bigg)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph $Gsubseteq K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}$ such that $G$ contains no $C_{4}^{text{multi}}$ $bigg($ respectively, $G$ contains neither $C_{3}$ nor $C_{4}^{text{multi}}$ $bigg)$. We call a $C^{multi}_4$ rainbow if all four edges of it have different colors. The ant-Ramsey number $text{ar}(K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}, C_{4}^{text{multi}})$ is the maximum number of colors in an edge-colored of $K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}$ with no rainbow $C_{4}^{text{multi}}$. In this paper, we determine that $text{ex}(K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}, C_{4}^{text{multi}})=n_{1}n_{2}+2n_{3}$ and $text{ar}(K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}, C_{4}^{text{multi}})=text{ex}(K_{n_{1},n_{2},n_{3}}, {C_{3}, C_{4}^{text{multi}}})+1=n_{1}n_{2}+n_{3}+1,$ where $n_{1}ge n_{2}ge n_{3}ge 1.$
For a graph $H$ consisting of finitely many internally disjoint paths connecting two vertices, with possibly distinct lengths, we estimate the corresponding extremal number $text{ex}(n,H)$. When the lengths of all paths have the same parity, $text{ex}(n,H)$ is $O(n^{1+1/k^ast})$, where $2k^ast$ is the size of the smallest cycle which is included in $H$ as a subgraph. We also establish the matching lower bound in the particular case of $text{ex}(n,Theta_{3,5,5})$, where $Theta_{3,5,5}$ is the graph consisting of three disjoint paths of lengths $3,5$ and $5$ connecting two vertices.
Let the bipartite Turan number $ex(m,n,H)$ of a graph $H$ be the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free bipartite graph with two parts of sizes $m$ and $n$, respectively. In this paper, we prove that $ex(m,n,C_{2t})=(t-1)n+m-t+1$ for any positive integers $m,n,t$ with $ngeq mgeq tgeq frac{m}{2}+1$. This confirms the rest of a conjecture of Gy{o}ri cite{G97} (in a stronger form), and improves the upper bound of $ex(m,n,C_{2t})$ obtained by Jiang and Ma cite{JM18} for this range. We also prove a tight edge condition for consecutive even cycles in bipartite graphs, which settles a conjecture in cite{A09}. As a main tool, for a longest cycle $C$ in a bipartite graph, we obtain an estimate on the upper bound of the number of edges which are incident to at most one vertex in $C$. Our two results generalize or sharpen a classical theorem due to Jackson cite{J85} in different ways.
