Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of geometric objects. We call a point $x \in P$ a strong centerpoint of $P$ w.r.t $\mathcal{F}$ if $x$ is contained in all $F \in \mathcal{F}$ that contains more…

A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G$ is a general position set of $G$ if no vertex of $S$ lies on a geodesic between two other vertices of $S$. The cardinality of a largest general position set of $G$ is the general position number ${\rm…

The general $d$-position number ${\rm gp}_d(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest set $S$ for which no three distinct vertices from $S$ lie on a common geodesic of length at most $d$. This new graph parameter generalizes the…

A finite point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is in general position if no $d + 1$ points lie on a common hyperplane. Let $\alpha_d(N)$ be the largest integer such that any set of $N$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with no $d + 2$ members on a common…

The aim of this paper is to generalize some fixed point theorems in the class of convex contraction of order $m$ on a complete suprametric space. Then, we will prove that the class of convex contraction of order m is strong enough to…

The general position number ${\rm gp}(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest set $S$ of vertices such that no three distinct vertices from $S$ lie on a common geodesic; such sets are refereed to as gp-sets of $G$. The…

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 $V$ and $V'$ be vector spaces over division rings. Suppose $\dim V$ is finite and not less than 3. Consider a mapping $l:V\to V$ with the following property: for every $u\in {\rm GL}(V)$ there is $u'\in {\rm GL}(V')$ such that $lu=u'l$.…

Erd\H{o}s asked what is the maximum number $\alpha(n)$ such that every set of $n$ points in the plane with no four on a line contains $\alpha(n)$ points in general position. We consider variants of this question for $d$-dimensional point…

We define the notion of affine rigidity of a hypergraph and prove a variety of fundamental results for this notion. First, we show that affine rigidity can be determined by the rank of a specific matrix which implies that affine rigidity is…

We define new generalized factorials in several variables over an arbitrary subset $\underline{S} \subseteq R^n,$ where $R$ is a Dedekind domain and $n$ is a positive integer. We then study the properties of the fixed divisor…

In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…

A set $D$ of vertices is a strong dominating set in a graph $G$, if for every vertex $x\in V(G) \setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x) \leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number $\gamma_{st}(G)$ of $G$ is the…

A finite subset $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is basic, if for any function $f \colon M \to \mathbb{R}$ there exists a collection of functions $f_1, \ldots, f_d \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that for each element $(x_1, \ldots, x_d)\in…

We modify an argument of Hablicsek and Scherr to show that if a collection of points in $\mathbb{C}^d$ spans many $r$--rich lines, then many of these lines must lie in a common $(d-1)$--flat. This is closely related to a previous result of…

A discrete subset $S$ of a topologically gyrogroup $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{1\}$ is closed and the subgyrogroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $1$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, we…

We present a sharp extension of a result of Bourgain on finding configurations of $k+1$ points in general position in measurable subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of positive upper density whenever $d\geq k+1$ to all proper $k$-degenerate distance…

Let A be a subset of positive relative upper density of P^d, the d-tuples of primes. We prove that A contains an affine copy of any finite set of lattice points E, as long as E is in general position in the sense that it has at most one…

Let $H\leq K$ be subgroups of a group G. We say that H is strongly closed in K with respect to G if whenever $a^g \in K$ where $a \in H, g \in G,$ then $a^g \in H.$ In this paper, we investigate the structure of a group G under the…

Let P be a set of n points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A point x is said to be a centerpoint of P if x is contained in every convex object that contains more than $dn\over d+1$ points of P. We call a point x a strong centerpoint for a family of…
