Let $P\subset \R^2$ be a set of $n$ points in general position. A peeling sequence of $P$ is a list of its points, such that if we remove the points from $P$ in that order, we always remove the next point from the convex hull of the…

Starting with a finite point set $X \subset \mathbf{R}^d$, the peeling process repeatedly removes the set of the vertices of the convex hull of the current set. The number of peeling steps required to completely remove $X$ is called the…

The number of steps required to exhaust a point set by iteratively removing the vertices of its convex hull is called the layer number of the point set. This article presents a short proof that the layer number of the grid…

The peeling process is defined as follows: starting with a finite point set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we repeatedly remove the set of vertices of the convex hull of the current set of points. The number of peeling steps needed to completely…

A point set $P \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ is {\it separated} if the minimum distance between any two points in $P$ is at least $1$. For $d \ne 4,5,$ we determine, for every $t_1,t_2 \ge 1$, and for $n$ at least a suitable $n_d$, the maximum…

The problem of calculating exact lower bounds for the number of $k$-faces of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices, for each value of $k$, and characterising the minimisers, has recently been solved for $n\le2d$. We establish the corresponding…

For a planar point-set $P$, let D(P) be the minimum number of pairwise-disjoint empty disks such that each point in $P$ lies on the boundary of some disk. Further define D(n) as the maximum of D(P) over all n-element point sets. Hosono and…

We show that any point in the convex hull of each of (d+1) sets of (d+1) points in general position in \R^d is contained in at least (d+1)^2/2 simplices with one vertex from each set. This improves the known lower bounds for all d >= 4.

Since ancient times mathematicians consider geometrical objects with integral side lengths. We consider plane integral point sets $\mathcal{P}$, which are sets of $n$ points in the plane with pairwise integral distances where not all the…

Given a set of $n$ labeled points in general position in the plane, we remove all of its points one by one. At each step, one point from the convex hull of the remaining set is erased. In how many ways can the process be carried out? The…

The well know theorem of Tverberg states that if n > (d+1)(r-1) then one can partition any set of n points in R^d to r disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a common point. The numbers T(d,r) = (d + 1)(r - 1) + 1 are known as Tverberg…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the smallest number of vertices that can be removed from a non-empty graph $G$ so that the resulting graph has a smaller maximum degree. Let $\lambda_{\rm e}(G)$ be the smallest number of edges that can be removed from…

The degree set of a finite simple graph $G$ is the set of distinct degrees of vertices of $G$. A theorem of Kapoor, Polimeni & Wall asserts that the least order of a graph with a given degree set $\mathscr D$ is $1+\max \mathscr D$.…

We improve our earlier upper bound on the numbers of antipodal pairs of points among $n$ points in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, to $2n^2/5+O(n^c)$, for some $c<2$. We prove that the minimal number of antipodal pairs among $n$ points in convex position…

$\newcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$We study the minWSPD problem of computing the minimum-size well-separated pairs decomposition of a set of points, and show constant approximation algorithms in low-dimensional Euclidean space and doubling…

We prove that every $n$-vertex directed graph $G$ with the minimum outdegree $\delta^+(G) = d$ contains a subgraph $H$ satisfying \[ \min\left\{\delta^+(H), \delta^-(H) \right\} \ge \frac{d(d+1)}{2n} \,.\] We also show that if $d = o(n)$…

The positive discrepancy of a graph $G$ of edge density $p=e(G)/\binom{v(G)}{2}$ is defined as $$\mbox{disc}^{+}(G)=\max_{U\subset V(G)}e(G[U])-p\binom{|U|}{2}.$$ In 1993, Alon proved (using the equivalent terminology of minimum bisections)…

For a finite point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we consider a peeling process where the vertices of the convex hull are removed at each step. The layer number $L(X)$ of a given point set $X$ is defined as the number of steps of the peeling…

Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the discrete median line segment problem, the objective is to find a line segment bounded by a pair of points in $P$ such that the sum of the Euclidean distances from $P$ to the line…

Boros and Furedi (for d=2) and Barany (for abritrary d) proved that there exists a positive real number c_d such that for every set P of n points in R^d in general position, there exists a point of R^d contained in at least c_d…
