Let $P$ and $S$ be two disjoint sets of $n$ and $m$ points in the plane, respectively. We consider the problem of computing a Steiner tree whose Steiner vertices belong to $S$, in which each point of $P$ is a leaf, and whose longest edge…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane in general position. We show that at least $\lfloor n/3\rfloor$ plane spanning trees can be packed into the complete geometric graph on $P$. This improves the previous best known lower bound…

In the Euclidean Bottleneck Steiner Tree problem, the input consists of a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ called terminals and a parameter $k$, and the goal is to compute a Steiner tree that spans all the terminals and contains at most…

There is a constant c > 0 such that for every $\epsilon \in (0,1)$ and $n \geq 1/\epsilon^2$, the following holds. Any mapping from the $n$-point star metric into $\ell_1^d$ with bi-Lipschitz distortion $1+\epsilon$ requires dimension $$d…

In this note we prove two results on the quantitative illumination parameter f(d) of the unit ball of a d-dimensional normed space introduced by K. Bezdek (1992). The first is that f(d) = O(2^d d^2 log d). The second involves Steiner…

The Euclidean Directed Spanning Forest is a random forest in $\mathbb{R}^d$ introduced by Baccelli and Bordenave in 2007 and we introduce and study here the analogous tree in the hyperbolic space. The topological properties of the Euclidean…

This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…

A $(1+\varepsilon)$-stretch tree cover of an edge-weighted $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a collection of trees, where every pair of vertices has a $(1+\varepsilon)$-stretch path in one of the trees. The celebrated Dumbbell Theorem by Arya et. al.…

The Radial Spanning Tree (RST) in dimension $d\geq2$ is a random geometric graph constructed on a homogeneous Poisson point process $\mathcal N$ in $\mathbb R^d$ augmented by the origin, with edges connecting each $x\in\mathcal N$ to the…

A general formulation is presented for continuum scaling limits of stochastic spanning trees. A spanning tree is expressed in this limit through a consistent collection of subtrees, which includes a tree for every finite set of endpoints in…

We prove that the set of $n$-point configurations for which the solution of the planar Steiner problem is not unique has the Hausdorff dimension at most $2n-1$ (as a subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$). Moreover, we show that the Hausdorff…

We show that Euclidean geometry in suitably high dimension can be expressed as a theory of orthogonality of subspaces with fixed dimensions and fixed dimension of their meet.

The Erd\H{o}s-Anning theorem states that every point set in the Euclidean plane with integer distances must be either collinear or finite. More strongly, for any (non-degenerate) triangle of diameter~$\delta$, at most $O(\delta^2)$ points…

The celebrated Steiner tree problem is the problem of finding a set $St$ of minimum one-dimensional Hausdorff measure $H$ (length) such that $St \cup \mathcal{A}$ is connected, where $\mathcal{A} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a given compact…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in ${\mathbb R}^{d}$. A point $p \in P$ is $k$\emph{-shallow} if it lies in a halfspace which contains at most $k$ points of $P$ (including $p$). We show that if all points of $P$ are $k$-shallow, then $P$ can…

An ultrametric Cantor set can be seen as the boundary of a rooted weighted tree called the Michon tree. The notion of Assouad dimension is re-interpreted as seen on the Michon tree. The Assouad dimension of an ultrametric Cantor set is…

An approximate Steiner tree is a Steiner tree on a given set of terminals in Euclidean space such that the angles at the Steiner points are within a specified error e from 120 degrees.This notion arises in numerical approximations of…

Given a set S of n \geq d points in general position in R^d, a random hyperplane split is obtained by sampling d points uniformly at random without replacement from S and splitting based on their affine hull. A random hyperplane search tree…

We show that every n-point tree metric admits a (1+eps)-embedding into a C(eps) log n-dimensional L_1 space, for every eps > 0, where C(eps) = O((1/eps)^4 log(1/eps)). This matches the natural volume lower bound up to a factor depending…
