We study a variant of Erd\H os' unit distance problem, concerning dot products between successive pairs of points chosen from a large finite point set. Specifically, given a large finite set of $n$ points $E$, and a sequence of nonzero dot…

We show that the number of unit distances determined by n points in R^3 is O(n^{3/2}), slightly improving the bound of Clarkson et al. established in 1990. The new proof uses the recently introduced polynomial partitioning technique of Guth…

We investigate the stability of persistence diagrams \( D \) under non-uniform scaling transformations \( S \) in \( \mathbb{R}^n \). Given a finite metric space \( X \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) with Euclidean distance \( d_X \), and scaling…

We investigate rigidity-type problems on the real line and the circle in the non-generic setting. Specifically, we consider the problem of uniquely determining the positions of $n$ distinct points $V = {v_1, \ldots, v_n}$ given a set of…

We prove algorithmic and hardness results for the problem of finding the largest set of a fixed diameter in the Euclidean space. In particular, we prove that if $A^*$ is the largest subset of diameter $r$ of $n$ points in the Euclidean…

Let $\Gamma_d$ be the largest constant such that every finite collection of cubes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes admits a disjoint sub-collection occupying a fraction $\Gamma_d$ of its volume. Vitali's…

Let $A_1,A_2,...,A_n$ be the vertices of a polygon with unit perimeter, that is $\sum_{i=1}^n |A_i A_{i+1}|=1$. We derive various tight estimates on the minimum and maximum values of the sum of pairwise distances, and respectively sum of…

Huemer et al. (Discrete Mathematics, 2019) proved that for any two point sets $R$ and $B$ with $|R|=|B|$, the perfect matching that matches points of $R$ with points of $B$, and maximizes the total \emph{squared} Euclidean distance of the…

Frankl--Pach and Erd\H{o}s conjectured that any $(d+1)$-uniform set family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{d+1}$ with VC-dimension at most $d$ has size at most $\binom{n-1}{d}$ when $n$ is sufficiently large. Ahlswede and Khachatrian…

We prove that the maximal dimension $d_N$ of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group $S_N$ satisfies $$d_N=\sqrt{N!} \, e^{-(\mathfrak{d}+o(1))\sqrt{N} }, \quad N\to \infty,$$ for some constant $\mathfrak{d}>0$. This answers a…

The Gromov-Hausdorff distance $(d_{GH})$ proves to be a useful distance measure between shapes. In order to approximate $d_{GH}$ for compact subsets $X,Y\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we look into its relationship with $d_{H,iso}$, the infimum…

We study the distribution of diameters d of Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs with average connectivity c. The diameter d is the maximum among all shortest distances between pairs of nodes in a graph and an important quantity for all dynamic…

In this note we compare two ways of measuring the $n$-dimensional "flatness" of a set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $d>n$. The first one is to consider the classical Reifenberg-flat numbers $\alpha(x,r)$ ($x \in S$,…

In this paper, we prove that a set of $N$ points in ${\bf R}^2$ has at least $c{N \over \log N}$ distinct distances, thus obtaining the sharp exponent in a problem of Erd\"os. We follow the set-up of Elekes and Sharir which, in the spirit…

In 1984, Plesn\'{i}k determined the minimum total distance for given order and diameter and characterized the extremal graphs and digraphs. We prove the analog for given order and radius, when the order is sufficiently large compared to the…

We investigate the problem of packing identical hard objects on regular lattices in d dimensions. Restricting configuration space to parallel alignment of the objects, we study the densest packing at a given aspect ratio X. For rectangles…

$\renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$We present a new optimal construction of a semi-separated pair decomposition (i.e., SSPD) for a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$. In the new construction each point participates in a few pairs, and it extends…

Given functions $f,g: [n] \rightarrow [n]$ do there exist $n$ points $A_1,A_2\ldots A_n$ in some metric space such that $A_{f(i)},A_{g(i)}$ are the points closest and farthest from point $A_i$? In this paper we characterize precisely which…

We study the 3D-Euclidean Multidimensional Stable Roommates problem, which asks whether a given set $V$ of $s\cdot n$ agents with a location in 3-dimensional Euclidean space can be partitioned into $n$ disjoint subsets $\pi = \{R_1 ,\dots ,…

A well-known theorem of Sch\"utte (1963) gives a sharp lower bound for the ratio between the maximum distance and minimum distance between n+2 points in n-dimensional Euclidean space. In this brief note we adapt B\'ar\'any's elegant proof…
