Empty non-convex and convex four-gons in random point sets
Let S be a set of n points distributed uniformly and independently in a convex, bounded set in the plane. A four-gon is called empty if it contains no points of S in its interior. We show that the expected number of empty non-convex four-gons with vertices from S is 12n logn + o(n logn) and the expected number of empty convex four-gons with vertices from S is Θ(n). keywords: random point set, e...
متن کاملThe number of empty four-gons in random point sets
Let S be a set of n points distributed uniformly and independently in the unit square. Then the expected number of empty four-gons with vertices from S is Θ(n2 logn). A four-gon is empty if it contains no points of S in its interior.
متن کاملFinding Sets of Points without Empty Convex 6-Gons
Erdös asked whether every large enough set of points in general position in the plane contains six points that form a convex 6-gon without any points from the set in its interior. In this note we show how a set of 29 points was found that contains no empty convex 6-gon. To this end a fast incremental algorithm for finding such 6-gons was designed and implemented and a heuristic search approach ...
متن کاملEmpty convex polygons in planar point sets
The Erdős–Szekeres theorem inspired a lot of research. A frequent topic in this area is the study of the existence of so-called empty convex polygons in finite planar point sets. Let P be a finite set of points in general position in the plane. A convex k-gon G is called a k-hole (or empty convex k-gon) of P , if all vertices of G lie in P and no point of P lies inside G. Frequently we will mea...
متن کاملEmpty Convex Hexagons in Planar Point Sets
Erdős asked whether every sufficiently large set of points in general position in the plane contains six points that form a convex hexagon without any points from the set in its interior. Such a configuration is called an empty convex hexagon. In this paper, we answer the question in the affirmative. We show that every set that contains the vertex set of a convex 9-gon also contains an empty co...
