Let θ 3, 4 denote the graph consisting of three internally disjoint paths of four edges with the same pair of endpoints. In this paper, we give a lower bound of order n 5/4 on the greatest number of edges of any n-vertex θ 3, 4-free graph, matching an earlier upper bound by Faudree and Simonovits up to an absolute constant factor. The construction is algebraic in nature, arising from equations over finite fields, and is perhaps some evidence that the Turán Number for the octagon is also of order n 5/4.
