Problem Statement

Given any positive real number ε\varepsilon, prove that, for all but finitely many positive integers vv, any graph on vv vertices with at least (1+ε)v(1+\varepsilon)v edges has two distinct simple cycles of equal lengths. (Recall that the notion of a simple cycle does not allow repetition of vertices in a cycle.)
