A long standing open problem in extremal graph theory is to describe all graphs that maximize the number of induced copies of a path on four vertices. The character of the problem changes in the setting of oriented graphs, and becomes more tractable. Here we resolve this problem in the setting of oriented graphs without transitive triangles.

The enumeration of lattice paths in wedges poses unique mathematical challenges. These models are not translationally invariant, and the absence of this symmetry complicates both the derivation of a functional recurrence for the generating function, and solving for it. In this paper we consider a model of partially directed walks from the origin in the square lattice confined to both a symmetric wedge defined by $Y = pm pX$, and an asymmetric wedge defined by the lines $Y= pX$ and Y=0, where $p > 0$ is an integer. We prove that the growth constant for all these models is equal to $1+sqrt{2}$, independent of the angle of the wedge. We derive functional recursions for both models, and obtain explicit expressions for the generating functions when $p=1$. From these we find asymptotic formulas for the number of partially directed paths of length $n$ in a wedge when $p=1$. The functional recurrences are solved by a variation of the kernel method, which we call the ``iterated kernel method. This method appears to be similar to the obstinate kernel method used by Bousquet-Melou. This method requires us to consider iterated compositions of the roots of the kernel. These compositions turn out to be surprisingly tractable, and we are able to find simple explicit expressions for them. However, in spite of this, the generating functions turn out to be similar in form to Jacobi $theta$-functions, and have natural boundaries on the unit circle.
We determine the inducibility of all tournaments with at most $4$ vertices together with the extremal constructions. The $4$-vertex tournament containing an oriented $C_3$ and one source vertex has a particularly interesting extremal construction. It is an unbalanced blow-up of an edge, where the sink vertex is replaced by a quasi-random tournament and the source vertex is iteratively replaced by a copy of the construction itself.
A graph $F$ is called a fractalizer if for all $n$ the only graphs which maximize the number of induced copies of $F$ on $n$ vertices are the balanced iterated blow ups of $F$. While the net graph is not a fractalizer, we show that the net is nearly a fractalizer. Let $N(n)$ be the maximum number of induced copies of the net graph among all graphs on $n$ vertices. For sufficiently large $n$ we show that, $N(n) = x_1cdot x_2 cdot x_3 cdot x_4 cdot x_5 cdot x_6 + N(x_1) + N(x_2) + N(x_3) + N(x_4) + N(x_5) + N(x_6)$ where $sigma x_i = n$ and all $x_i$ are as equal as possible. Furthermore, we show that the unique graph which maximizes $N(6^k)$ is the balanced iterated blow up of the net for $k$ sufficiently large. We expand on the standard flag algebra and stability techniques through more careful counting and numerical optimization techniques.
We present a sufficient condition for the stability property of extremal graph problems that can be solved via Zykovs symmetrisation. Our criterion is stated in terms of an analytic limit version of the problem. We show that, for example, it applies to the inducibility problem for an arbitrary complete bipartite graph $B$, which asks for the maximum number of induced copies of $B$ in an $n$-vertex graph, and to the inducibility problem for $K_{2,1,1,1}$ and $K_{3,1,1}$, the only complete partite graphs on at most five vertices for which the problem was previously open.
Directed paths have been used extensively in the scientific literature as a model of a linear polymer. Such paths models in particular the conformational entropy of a linear polymer and the effects it has on the free energy. These directed models are simplifi
