Abstract: The planar Turán number of a graph $G$, denoted $ex_{_\mathcal{P}}(n,G)$, is the maximum number of edges in a planar graph on $n$ vertices without containing $G$ as a subgraph. Given a positive integer $n$ and a plane graph $H$, let $\mathcal{T}_n(H)$ be the family of all plane triangulations $T$ on $n$ vertices such that $T$ contains $H$ as a subgraph. The planar anti-Ramsey number of $H$, denoted $ar_{_\mathcal{P}}(n, H)$, is the maximum number $k$ such that no edge-coloring of any plane triangulation in $\mathcal{T}_n(H)$ with $k$ colors contains a rainbow copy of $H$. The study of these two topics was initiated around 2015, and has attracted extensive attention. This paper surveys results about planar Turán number and planar anti-Ramsey number of graphs. The goal is to give a unified and comprehensive presentation of the major results, as well as to highlight some open problems.
