A special case of a theorem of De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured a generalization of this result to arbitrary finite…

A special case of a combinatorial theorem of De Bruijn and Erdos asserts that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvatal suggested a possible generalization of this assertion in…

In 2008, Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that in every finite metric space of $n$ points, there are at least $n$ distinct lines, or the whole set of points is a line. This is a generalization of a classical result in the Euclidean plane. The…

A set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines unless these $n$ points are collinear. In 2006, Chen and Chv\'atal asked whether the same statement holds true in general metric spaces, where the line…

In this work we present a version of the so called Chen and Chv\'atal's conjecture for directed graphs. A line of a directed graph D is defined by an ordered pair (u, v), with u and v two distinct vertices of D, as the set of all vertices w…

In 2008 Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that any metric space on n points has at least n lines, unless all the points belong to one line. Chv\atal proved in 2014 that this is indeed the case for metric spaces with distances 0, 1 and 2. In…

A set of n points in the plane which are not all collinear defines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured in 2008 that a similar result can be achieved in the broader context of finite metric spaces. This conjecture…

De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s proved that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal suggested a possible generalization of this theorem in the framework of metric spaces. We provide…

A classical theorem of De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s asserts that any noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. We prove that an analogue of this theorem holds for graphs. Restricting our attention to…

In this paper, we give a lengthy proof of a small result! A graph is bisplit if its vertex set can be partitioned into three stable sets with two of them inducing a complete bipartite graph. We prove that these graphs satisfy the…

A set of n non-collinear points in the Euclidean plane defines at least n different lines. Chen and Chv\'atal in 2008 conjectured that the same results is true in metric spaces for an adequate definition of line. More recently, this…

Chen and Chv\'atal introduced the notion of lines in hypergraphs; they proved that every 3-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices either has a line that consists of all $n$ vertices or else has at least $\log_2 n$ distinct lines. We improve…

A classic theorem of Euclidean geometry asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that this holds for an arbitrary finite metric space, with a certain…

A well-known theorem in plane geometry states that any set of $n$ non-collinear points in the plane determines at least $n$ lines. Chen and Chv\'{a}tal asked whether an analogous statement holds within the framework of finite metric spaces,…

We prove that in every metric space where no line contains all the points, there are at least $\Omega(n^{2/3})$ lines. This improves the previous $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$ lower bound on the number of lines in general metric space, and also…

De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s proved that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. We suggest a possible generalization of this theorem in the framework of metric spaces and provide partial results on…

A {\em string graph} is the intersection graph of a family of continuous arcs in the plane. The intersection graph of a family of plane convex sets is a string graph, but not all string graphs can be obtained in this way. We prove the…
