We show that the maximum number of unit distances or of diameters in a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is attained only by specific types of Lenz constructions, for all d >= 4 and n sufficiently large, depending on d. As 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…
In this paper, we give improved bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of pinned distance sets of planar sets with dimension strictly less than one. As the planar set becomes more regular (i.e., the Hausdorff and packing dimension become…
A non-complete geometric distance-regular graph is the point graph of a partial geometry in which the set of lines is a set of Delsarte cliques. In this paper, we prove that for fixed integer $m\geq 2$, there are only finitely many…
Let E be the complete Euclidean graph on a set of points embedded in the plane. Given a constant t >= 1, a spanning subgraph G of E is said to be a t-spanner, or simply a spanner, if for any pair of vertices u,v in E the distance between u…
We prove a limit theorem for the the maximal interpoint distance (also called the diameter) for a sample of n i.i.d. points in the unit ball of dimension 2 or more. The exact form of the limit distribution and the required normalisation are…
A coordinate cone in R^n is an intersection of some coordinate hyperplanes and open coordinate half-spaces. A semi-monotone set is a defnable in an o-minimal structure over the reals, open bounded subset of R^n such that its intersection…
We derive an upper bound for the Assouad dimension of visible parts of self-similar sets generated by iterated function systems with finite rotation groups and satisfying the open set condition. The bound is valid for all visible parts and…
The set of points in a metric space is called an $s$-distance set if pairwise distances between these points admit only $s$ distinct values. Two-distance spherical sets with the set of scalar products $\{\alpha, -\alpha\}$,…
The largest possible average diameter of a bounded cell of a simple hyperplane arrangement is conjectured to be not greater than the dimension. We prove that this conjecture holds in dimension 2, and is asymptotically tight in fixed…
We investigate the question of how well points on a nondegenerate $k$-dimensional submanifold $M \subseteq \mathbb R^d$ can be approximated by rationals also lying on $M$, establishing an upper bound on the "intrinsic Dirichlet exponent"…
We construct two minimal Cheeger sets in the Euclidean plane, i.e. unique minimizers of the ratio "perimeter over area" among their own measurable subsets. The first one gives a counterexample to the so-called weak regularity property of…
(I) We exhibit a set of 23 points in the plane that has dilation at least $1.4308$, improving the previously best lower bound of $1.4161$ for the worst-case dilation of plane spanners. (II) For every integer $n\geq13$, there exists an…
Semi-algebraic set is a subset of the real space defined by polynomial equations and inequalities. In this paper, we consider the problem of deciding whether two given points in a semi-algebraic set are connected. We restrict to the case…
We consider the problem of mirror invisibility for plane sets. Given a circle and a finite number of unit vectors (defining the directions of invisibility) such that the angles between them are commensurable with $\pi$, for any $\varepsilon…
New ray-optical elements allow generalized refraction of light rays, but geometry imposes limitations on possible mappings between the positions of an object and its geometric image. Here I study the case of an infinite, planar,…
The set of minimal primes of a ring is a very important set as far the spectrum of a ring is concerned as every prime contains a minimal prime. So, knowing the minimal primes is the first (important and difficult) step in describing the…
Given a finite set satisfying condition $\mathcal{A}$, the subset selection problem asks, how large of a subset satisfying condition $\mathcal{B}$ can we find? We make progress on three instances of subset selection problems in planar point…
A pentagonal geometry PENT($k$, $r$) is a partial linear space, where every line is incident with $k$ points, every point is incident with $r$ lines, and for each point $x$, there is a line incident with precisely those points that are not…
Two planar sets are circularly separable if there exists a circle enclosing one of the sets and whose open interior disk does not intersect the other set. This paper studies two problems related to circular separability. A linear-time…
