Planar Turán conjecture for two disjoint 4-cycles

From papers

Let exP(n,2C4)ex_{\mathcal{P}}(n,2C_4) denote the maximum number of edges in an nn-vertex planar graph containing no two vertex-disjoint copies of the cycle C4C_4. Planar Turán conjecture for two disjoint 4-cycles. If n23n\geq 23, then

exP(n,2C4)197(n2),ex_{\mathcal{P}}(n,2C_4)\leq \frac{19}{7}(n-2),

and the bound is tight whenever 14(n2)14\mid(n-2). This gives the proposed sharp upper bound for the planar Turán number of two disjoint 4-cycles; the preceding theorem supplies asymptotic lower bounds, while the exact bound and its tightness remain to be established.
