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…

Let $(X,d)$ be a finite metric space with $|X|=n$. For a positive integer $k$ we define $A_k(X)$ to be the quotient set of all $k$-subsets of $X$ by isometry, and we denote $|A_k(X)|$ by $a_k$. The sequence $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n})$ is…

A well-known object in classical Euclidean geometry is the circumcenter of a triangle, i.e., the point that is equidistant from all vertices. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic study of the circumcenter of sets containing…

This paper makes a deep study of regular two-distance sets. A set of unit vectors $X$ in Euclidean space $\RR^n$ is said to be regular two-distance set if the inner product of any pair of its vectors is either $\alpha$ or $\beta$, and the…

In this paper, we show that the maximum number of points in $d\geq3$ dimensions determining exactly 2 distinct triangles is $2d$. We further show that this maximum is uniquely achieved by the vertices of the $d$-orthoplex. We build upon the…

Kusner asked if $n+1$ points is the maximum number of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that the $\ell_p$ distance $(1<p<\infty)$ between any two points is $1$. We present an improvement to the best known upper bound when $p$ is large in terms…

We address an analog of a problem introduced by Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn, itself an inverse formulation of the famous Erd\H{o}s distance problem, in which the usual Euclidean distance is replaced with the metric induced by the $\ell^1$-norm,…

Finding the maximum cardinality of a $2$-distance set in Euclidean space is a classical problem in geometry. Lison\v{e}k in 1997 constructed a maximum $2$-distance set in $\mathbb R^8$ with $45$ points. That $2$-distance set constructed by…

A unit spherical Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) D is a matrix whose entries can be realized as the interpoint (squared) Euclidean distances of n points on a unit sphere. In this paper, given such a D and 1 \leq k < l \leq n, we present a…

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 set of points $S$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a 2-distance set if the set of pairwise distances between the points has cardinality two. The 2-distance set is called spherical if its points lie on the unit…

A set $X$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called an $m$-distance set if the set of Euclidean distances between two distinct points in $X$ has size $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be maximal if there does…

A finite set of points in $\mathbb R^d$ is called almost-equidistant if among any three distinct points in the set, some two are at unit distance. We prove that an almost-equidistant set in $\mathbb R^d$ has cardinality at most $5d^{13/9}$.
