Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R} ^d$, with $d = 2,3$. We determine sharp sufficient conditions for a set $E$ composed of $1$, $2$, or $3$ points of ${\rm bd}K$, to contain at least one endpoint of a diameter of $K$ (for $d=2,3$). We…

We prove an extension of a ham sandwich theorem for families of lines in the plane by Dujmovi\'{c} and Langerman. Given two sets $A, B$ of $n$ lines each in the plane, we prove that it is possible to partition the plane into $r$ convex…

We prove that in every metric space where no line contains all the points, there are at least $\Omega(n^{2/3})$ lines. This improves the previous $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$ lower bound on the number of lines in general metric space, and also…

In this paper we prove the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture for the case of large radii. Namely, if a finite number of points in Euclidean space $E^n$ is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of points does not decrease, then there…

This paper explores the relationship between convexity and sum sets. In particular, we show that elementary number theoretical methods, principally the application of a squeezing principle, can be augmented with the Elekes-Szab\'{o} Theorem…

According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…

The symmetric case of the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem says that any configuration of $N$ lines and $N$ points in the plane has at most $O(N^{4/3})$ incidences. We describe a recipe involving just $O(N^{1/3})$ parameters which sometimes…

An ordered matching of size $n$ is a graph on a linearly ordered vertex set $V$, $|V|=2n$, consisting of $n$ pairwise disjoint edges. There are three different ordered matchings of size two on $V=\{1,2,3,4\}$: an alignment…

While investigating odd-cycle free hypergraphs, Gy\H{o}ri and Lemons introduced a colored version of the classical theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai on $P_k$-free graphs. They proved that any graph $G$ with a proper vertex coloring and no…

The celebrated Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture states that for every fixed $e$, every $3$-uniform hypergraph with $\Omega(n^2)$ edges contains $e$ edges spanned by $e+3$ vertices. Up to this date all the approaches towards resolving this…

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the largest possible set of s points and s lines in a projective plane of order q, such that that none of the s points lie on any of the s lines. We prove that s <= 1+(q+1)(\sqrt{q}-1). We also…

Erd\H{o}s-Stone Theorem is a well-known result in extremal graph theory which determines the asymptotic behaviour of maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $H$-free graph. In 2009, Nikiforov gave a spectral version of Erd\H{o}s-Stone…

Extensions of Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem for general hypergraphs are well studied. In this work, we prove the extension of Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem for linear hypergraphs. In particular, we show that the number of hyperedges in an $n$-vertex…

We prove completeness of preferential conditional logic with respect to convexity over finite sets of points in the Euclidean plane. A conditional is defined to be true in a finite set of points if all extreme points of the set interpreting…

We study the maximum number of straight-line segments connecting $n$ points in convex position in the plane, so that each segment intersects at most $k$ others. This question can also be framed as the maximum number of edges of an outer…

We prove that if a finite point set in real space does not have too many points on a plane, then it spans a quadratic number of ordinary lines. This answers the real case of a question of Basit, Dvir, Saraf, and Wolf. It shows that there is…

A nonlinear version of Roth's theorem states that dense sets of integers contain configurations of the form $x$, $x+d$, $x+d^2$. We obtain a multidimensional version of this result, which can be regarded as a first step towards…

Consider the regular $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ - it is formed by the convex-hull of $n+1$ points in Euclidean space, with each pair of points being in distance exactly one from each other. We prove an exact bound on the width of $\Delta_n$…

A set N is called a "weak epsilon-net" (with respect to convex sets) for a finite set X in R^d if N intersects every convex set that contains at least epsilon*|X| points of X. For every fixed d>=2 and every r>=1 we construct sets X in R^d…

Let $\left\{a_1, \dots, a_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set of positive integers, $a_n$ denoting the largest element, so that for any two of the $2^n$ subsets the sum of all elements is distinct. Erd\H{o}s asked whether this implies…
