We consider point sets in $\mathbb{Z}_n^2$ where no three points are on a line - also called caps or arcs. For the determination of caps with maximum cardinality and complete caps with minimum cardinality we provide integer linear…

A finite set of distinct vectors $\mathcal{X}$ in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called an $s$-distance set if the set of mutual distances between distinct elements of $\mathcal{X}$ has cardinality $s$. In this paper…

Since ancient times mathematicians consider geometrical objects with integral side lengths. We consider plane integral point sets $\mathcal{P}$, which are sets of $n$ points in the plane with pairwise integral distances where not all the…

In this paper we compute the set of point modules of finitely semi-graded rings. In particular, from the parametrization of the point modules for the quantum affine n-space, the set of point modules for some important examples of non…

An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Since there is no effective formula to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…

A finite subset $X$ of the Euclidean space is called an $m$-distance set if the number of distances between two distinct points in $X$ is equal to $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ is said to be maximal if any vector cannot be added to $X$ while…

We show that large subsets of vector spaces over finite fields determine certain point configurations with prescribed distance structure. More specifically, we consider the complete graph with vertices as the points of $A \subseteq…

NF set theory using intuitionistic logic is called iNF. We develop the theories of finite sets and their power sets and mappings, finite cardinals and their ordering, cardinal exponentiation, addition, and multiplication. We follow Rosser…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $k$ be a natural number. What are the possible cardinalities of point sets ${S}$ in a projective plane of order $q$, which do not intersect any line at exactly $k$ points? This problem and its variants have been…

A finite subset of a Euclidean space is called an $s$-distance set if there exist exactly $s$ values of the Euclidean distances between two distinct points in the set. In this paper, we prove that the maximum cardinality among all…

We find the exact size of a maximal non-commuting set in unipotent uppertriangular linear group $UU_4(\mathbb{F}_q)$ in terms of a non-commuting geometric structure (Refer Definition [10]), where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$…

Let $\alpha(\mathbb{F}_q^{d},p)$ be the maximum possible size of a point set in general position in the $p$-random subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. In this note, we determine the order of magnitude of $\alpha(\mathbb{F}_q^{3},p)$ up to a…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $|A|$ denote the cardinality of a set $A$. We prove that if $f\colon X\to X$ is a homeomorphism and $|X|=\infty$ then for all $\delta>0$ there is $A\subset X$ such that $|A|=4$ and for all $k\in Z$…

Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn studied the maximum number of points in the plane that span $k$ distances and classified these configurations, as an inverse problem of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. We consider the analogous problem for…

Let $X$ be a finite set in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. If the squared distance between any two distinct points in $X$ is an odd integer, then the cardinality of $X$ is bounded above by $d+2$, as shown by Rosenfeld (1997) or Smith…
