Fix a graph $F$. A classical problem in extremal graph theory asks about how many induced copies of $F$ can a graph with edge density $\rho$ have? The only case in which we know the asymptotic solution is when $F$ is a complete graph, and it was solved completely only recently by Reiher using the flag algebra machinery. We will consider the other cases and show some results when $F$ is a complete bipartite graph or a complete graph minus one edge. Many interesting related open problems will also be introduced. Joint work with Dhruv Mubayi and Christian Reiher.
