An r ‐uniform linear cycle of length ℓ , denoted by C ℓ r , is an r ‐graph with edges e 1 , … , e ℓ such that for every i ∈ [ ℓ − 1 ] , ∣ e i ∩ e i + 1 ∣ = 1 , ∣ e ℓ ∩ e 1 ∣ = 1 , and e i ∩ e j = ∅ for all other pairs { i , j } , i ≠ j . For every r ≥ 3 and ℓ ≥ 4 , we show that there exists a constant C depending on r and ℓ such that the number of linear r ‐graphs of girth ℓ is at most 2 C n 1 + 1 ∕ ⌊ ℓ ∕ 2 ⌋ . Furthermore, we extend the result for ℓ = 4 , proving that there exists a constant C depending on r such that the number of linear r ‐graphs without C 4 r is at most 2 C n 3 ∕ 2 . The idea of the proof is to reduce the hypergraph enumeration problems to some graph enumeration problems, and then apply a variant of the graph container method, which may be of independent interest. We extend a breakthrough result of Kleitman and Winston on the number of C 4 ‐free graphs, proving that the number of graphs containing at most n 2 ∕ 32 log 6 n C 4 's is at most 2 11 n 3 ∕ 2 , for sufficiently large n . We further show that for every r ≥ 3 and ℓ ≥ 2 , the number of graphs such that each of its edges is contained in only O ( 1 ) cycles of length at most 2 ℓ , is bounded by 2 3 ( ℓ + 1 ) n 1 + 1 ∕ ℓ asymptotically.
