We prove a new, tight upper bound on the number of incidences between points and hyperplanes in Euclidean d-space. Given n points, of which k are colored red, there are O_d(m^{2/3}k^{2/3}n^{(d-2)/3} + kn^{d-2} + m) incidences between the k…

In 2008 Karasev conjectured that for every set of $r$ blue lines, $r$ green lines, and $r$ red lines in the plane, there exists a partition of them into $r$ colorful triples whose induced triangles intersect. We disprove this conjecture for…

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…

In this work we prove that if for a pair of convex bodies $K_1, K_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 3$, there exists a hyperplane $H$ and two distinct points $p_1$ and $p_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus H$ such that for every $(n-2)$-plane $M…

We consider the problem of reporting convex hull points in an orthogonal range query in two dimensions. Formally, let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. A point lies on the convex hull of a point set $S$ if it lies on the…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^3$, no three collinear and not all coplanar. If at most $n-k$ are coplanar and $n$ is sufficiently large, the total number of planes determined is at least $1 + k…

A theorem of Galvin asserts that if the unordered pairs of reals are partitioned into finitely many Borel classes then there is a perfect set P such that all pairs from P lie in the same class. The generalization to n-tuples for n >= 3 is…

We present an $O(n^5)$ algorithm that computes a maximum stable set of any perfect graph with no balanced skew-partition. We present $O(n^7)$ time algorithm that colors them.

Fix any $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$. We say that a set $S\subseteq\mathbb{C}$ is $\lambda$-$convex$ if, whenever $a$ and $b$ are in $S$, the point $(1-\lambda)a+\lambda b$ is also in $S$. If $S$ is also (topologically) closed, then we say that…

Given a set of N points, we have discovered an algorithm that can separate these points from one another by n-dimensional planes. Each point is chosen at random and put into a set S and planes which separate them are determined and put into…

A coloring of a tree is convex if the vertices that pertain to any color induce a connected subtree; a partial coloring (which assigns colors to some of the vertices) is convex if it can be completed to a convex (total) coloring. Convex…

In 2001, K\'arolyi, Pach and T\'oth introduced a family of point sets to solve an Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres type problem; which have been used to solve several other Ed\H{o}s-Szekeres type problems. In this paper we refer to these sets as nested…

We provide a linear time algorithm to determine the flip distance between two plane spanning paths on a point set in convex position. At the same time, we show that the happy edge property does not hold in this setting. This has to be seen…

This paper presents an alternate choice of computing the convex hulls (CHs) for planar point sets. We firstly discard the interior points and then sort the remaining vertices by x- / y- coordinates separately, and later create a group…

In this paper, we deal with the question; under what conditions the points $P_i(xi,yi)$ $(i = 1,\cdots, n)$ form a convex polygon provided $x_1 < \cdots < x_n$ holds. One of the main findings of the paper can be stated as follows: "Let…
