    In 1975, P. Erd\H{o}s proposed the problem of determining the maximum number f(n)f(n) of edges in a graph with nn vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. The sequence (c1,c2,⋯ ,cn)(c_1,c_2,\cdots,c_n) is the cycle length distribution of a graph GG of order nn where cic_i is the number of cycles of length ii in GG. Let f(a1,a2,⋯ ,an)f(a_1,a_2,\cdots, a_n) denote the maximum possible number of edges in a graph which satisfies ci≀aic_i\leq a_i where aia_i is a nonnegative integer. In 1991, Shi posed the problem of determining f(a1,a2,⋯ ,an)f(a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n) which extended the problem due to Erd\H{o}s, it is clear that f(n)=f(1,1,⋯ ,1)f(n)=f(1,1,\cdots,1). Let g(n,m)=f(a1,a2,⋯ ,an),g(n,m)=f(a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n), ai=1a_i=1 for all i/mi/m be integer, ai=0a_i=0 for all i/mi/m be not integer. It is clear that f(n)=g(n,1)f(n)=g(n,1). We prove that lim inf⁑nβ†’βˆžf(n)βˆ’nnβ‰₯2+4099,\liminf_{n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} \geq \sqrt {2 + \frac{40}{99}}, which is better than the previous bounds 2\sqrt 2 (Shi, 1988), 2+765419071\sqrt {2 + \frac{7654}{19071}} (Lai, 2017). We show that lim inf⁑nβ†’βˆžg(n,m)βˆ’nnm>2.444,\liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} {g(n,m)-n\over \sqrt \frac{n}{m}} > \sqrt {2.444}, for all even integers mm. We make the following conjecture: lim inf⁑nβ†’βˆžf(n)βˆ’nn>2.444.\liminf_{n \to \infty} {f(n)-n \over \sqrt n} > \sqrt {2.444}.Comment: 9 page
