Generalized Tur\'an problems for $K_{2,t}$

Abstract

We study the generalized Tur\'an function $ex(n,H,F)$, when $H$ or $F$ is $K_{2,t}$. We determine the order of magnitude of $ex(n,H,K_{2,t})$ when $H$ is a tree, and determine its asymptotics for a large class of trees. We also determine the asymptotics of $ex(n,K_{2,t},H)$ in most cases.
