This paper investigates the algorithmic dimension spectra of lines in the Euclidean plane. Given any line L with slope a and vertical intercept b, the dimension spectrum sp(L) is the set of all effective Hausdorff dimensions of individual…

We show that the probability that a simple random walk covers a finite, bounded degree graph in linear time is exponentially small. More precisely, for every D and C, there exists a=a(D,C)>0 such that for any graph G, with n vertices and…

A disordered medium is often constructed by $N$ points independently and identically distributed in a $d$-dimensional hyperspace. Characteristics related to the statistics of this system is known as the random point problem. As $d \to…

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…

We consider the billiard in the exterior of a piecewise smooth body in two-dimensional Euclidean space and show that the maximum number of directions of invisibility in such billiard is at most finite.

Given a finite set of non-collinear points in the plane, there exists a line that passes through exactly two points. Such a line is called an ordinary line. An efficient algorithm for computing such a line was proposed by Mukhopadhyay et…

We study side-lengths of triangles in path metric spaces. We prove that unless such a space X is bounded, or quasi-isometric to line or half-line, every triple of real numbers satisfying the strict triangle inequalities, is realized by the…

A set of n non-collinear points in the Euclidean plane defines at least n different lines. Chen and Chv\'atal in 2008 conjectured that the same results is true in metric spaces for an adequate definition of line. More recently, this…

We introduce the notion of $P_{\lambda}$ points, which canonically parametrize points on the Euler line. This allows us to show that the Euler line of any $d$-dimensional inscribed polygon in Euclidean space arises from the Euler lines of…

We obtain several new results contributing to the theory of real equiangular line systems. Among other things, we present a new general lower bound on the maximum number of equiangular lines in d dimensional Euclidean space; we describe the…

The curse of dimensionality is a common phenomenon which affects analysis of datasets characterized by large numbers of variables associated with each point. Problematic scenarios of this type frequently arise in classification algorithms…

The proof of the theorem, which states that the Euclidean metric on the set of random points in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space with the distribution of a special class, converges in probability in the limit $n\rightarrow\infty$ to the…

In this short note we use the polynomial partitioning lemma to strengthen a recent result of Dvir and Gopi about the number of rich lines in high dimensional Euclidean spaces. Our result shows that if there are sufficiently many rich lines…
