Let G be a maximal planar graph with p vertices, and let Ck(G) denote the number of cycles of length k in G. We first present tight bounds for C,(G) and C,(G) in terms of p. We then give bounds for Ck(G) when 5 5 k 5 p , and consider in particular bounds for C,(G), in terms of p. Some conjectures an

## Abstract Let __p__ and __C__~4~ (__G__) be the number of vertices and the number of 4βcycles of a maximal planar graph __G__, respectively. Hakimi and Schmeichel characterized those graphs __G__ for which __C__~4~ (__G__) = 1/2(__p__^2^ + 3__p__ β 22). This characterization is correct if __p__ β₯
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph on __p__ vertices with __q__ edges and let __r__β=β__q__βββ__p__β=β1. We show that __G__ has at most ${15\over 16} 2^{r}$ cycles. We also show that if __G__ is planar, then __G__ has at most 2^__r__βββ1^β=β__o__(2^__r__βββ1^) cycles. The planar result is best possib
## Abstract We consider the problem of the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles that could be present in a Hamiltonian maximal planar graph on __p__ vertices. In particular, we construct a __p__βvertex maximal planar graph containing exactly four Hamiltonian cycles for every __p__ β₯ 12. We also pro
