We improve the lower bound on the $d$-dimensional rectilinear crossing number of the complete $d$-uniform hypergraph having $2d$ vertices to $\Omega\left(\dfrac{(4\sqrt{2}/3^{3/4})^d}{d}\right)$ from $\Omega(2^d \sqrt{d})$. We also…
The $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$ has as vertices all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, and an edge between any two sets that differ in a single element. The Ruskey-Savage conjecture asserts that every matching of $Q_d$, $d\ge 2$, can be…
We establish new bounds on the number of tangencies and orthogonal intersections determined by an arrangement of curves. First, given a set of $n$ algebraic plane curves, we show that there are $O(n^{3/2})$ points where two or more curves…
If two Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, and there they do not properly cross, then the common point is called a {\em touching point}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for simple curves: Let $X$…
The dimension of a graph $G$ is the smallest $d$ for which its vertices can be embedded in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space in the sense that the distances between endpoints of edges equal $1$ (but there may be other unit distances).…
Creative telescoping applied to a bivariate proper hypergeometric term produces linear recurrence operators with polynomial coefficients, called telescopers. We provide bounds for the degrees of the polynomials appearing in these operators.…
It was recently determined exactly through how many general points a nondegenerate curve with nonspecial hyperplane section can pass. This gives rise to a method of constructing reducible curves $C_1 \cup_\Gamma C_2 \to \mathbb{P}^r$ with…
Given a set of planar curves (Jordan arcs), each pair of which meets -- either crosses or touches -- exactly once, we establish an upper bound on the number of touchings. We show that such a curve family has $O(t^2n)$ touchings, where $t$…
For a graph whose vertex set is a finite set of points in the Euclidean $d$-space consider the closed (open) balls with diameters induced by its edges. The graph is called a (an open) Tverberg graph if these closed (open) balls intersect.…
A basis of the ideal of the complement of a linear subspace in a projective space over a finite field is given. As an application, the second largest number of points of plane curves of degree $d$ over the finite field of $q$ elements is…
Subgraph densities have been defined, and served as basic tools, both in the case of graphons (limits of dense graph sequences) and graphings (limits of bounded-degree graph sequences). While limit objects have been described for the…
In this paper, we study the curvature properties of random complex plane curves. We bound from below the probability that a uniform proportion of the area of a random complex degree $d$ plane curve has a curvature smaller than $-d/8$. Our…
Computing the diameter of the intersection graphs of objects is a basic problem in computational geometry. Previous works showed that the complexity of computing the diameter mainly depends on the object types: for unit disks and squares in…
Ray intersection graphs are intersection graphs of rays, or halflines, in the plane. We show that any planar graph has an even subdivision whose complement is a ray intersection graph. The construction can be done in polynomial time and…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in real projective $d$-space, not all contained in a hyperplane, such that any $d$ points span a hyperplane. An ordinary hyperplane of $P$ is a hyperplane containing exactly $d$ points of $P$. We show that if…
In this paper we study the distance Ramsey number $R_{{\it D}}(s,t,d)$. The \textit{distance Ramsey number} $R_{{\it D}}(s,t,d) $ is the minimum number $n$ such that for any graph $ G $ on $ n $ vertices, either $G$ contains an induced $ s…
In this paper, we consider the embedding of a complete $d$-uniform geometric hypergraph with $n$ vertices in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where each hyperedge is represented as a $(d-1)$-simplex, and a pair of hyperedges is defined…
In this paper, we study the embedding of a complete balanced $d$-partite $d$-uniform hypergraph with all its $nd$ vertices represented as points in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and each hyperedge drawn as a convex hull of $d$…
The Morton- or z-curve is one example for a space filling curve: Given a level of refinement L, it maps the interval [0, 2**dL) one-to-one to a set of d-dimensional cubes of edge length 2**-L that form a subdivision of the unit cube.…
Oriented closed curves on an orientable surface with boundary are described up to continuous deformation by reduced cyclic words in the generators of the fundamental group and their inverses. By self-intersection number one means the…
