Counting Fixed Cycles in Graphs with Bounded Circumference

Zhu, Gyori, He, Lv, Salia and Xiao conjectured the maximum number of copies of a fixed cycle in an $n$-vertex graph of bounded circumference, attained by the join of a clique with an independent set. For every fixed $s \ge 3$ and $L \ge 2s+2$ and all large $n$, $\mathrm{ex}(n, C_{2s+1}, \mathcal{C}_{\ge L+1}) = N(C_{2s+1}, H(n,L))$. Together with the companion even-cycle result this settles the conjecture.
