In this note we prove that every 2-connected graph of order n with no repeated cycle lengths has at most n + 2(n -2) -1 edges and we show this result is best possible with the correct order of magnitude on β n. The 2connected case is also used to give a quick proof of Lai's result on the general cas

Tan, E.L., Some notes on cycle graphs, Discrete Mathematics 105 (1992) 221-226. The cycle graph C(G) of a graph G is the graph whose vertices are the chordless cycles of G and two vertices in C(G) are adjacent whenever the corresponding chordless cycles have at least one edge in common. If G is acyclic, we define C(G) = 0, the empty graph. The nth iterated cycle graph C"(G) of G is defined recursively by C"(G) = C(CnmI(G)) for n Z= 2. Based on the behavior of C"(G), a graph G can be classified as either cycle-vanishing, cycle-periodic or cycle-expanding.
A graph G is said to be cycle-vanishing if there exists an integer n such that C"(G) = 0.
This paper gives a correction to a published 'characterization' of cycle-vanishing graphs.

AnSTRACr. Let G be a graph, and let v be a vertex of G. We denote by N(v) the set of vertices of G which are adjacent to v, and by (N(v)) the subgraph of G induced by N(v). We call <N(v)) the neighborhood of v. In a paper of 1968, Agakishieva has, as one of her main theorems, the statement: "Graphs
