چکیده

The n-interior point variant of the Erdős-Szekeres problem is the following: for any n, n ≥ 1, does there exist a g(n) such that every point set in the plane with at least g(n) interior points has a convex polygon containing exactly n-interior points. The existence of g(n) has been proved only for n ≤ 3. In this paper, we show that, for point sets having at most logarithmic number of convex layers, g(n) exists for all n ≥ 5. We also consider a relaxation of the notion of convex polygons and show that for all n, n ≥ 1, any point set with at least n interior points has an almost convex polygon (simple polygon with at most one concave vertex) that contains exactly n-interior points.

More on an Erdos-Szekeres-Type Problem for Interior Points

An interior point of a finite planar point set is a point of the set that is not on the boundary of the convex hull of the set. For any integer k ≥ 1, let g(k) be the smallest integer such that every planar point set in general position with at least g(k) interior points has a convex subset of points with exactly k interior points of P . In this article, we prove that g(3)= 9.

Two player game variant of the Erdos-Szekeres problem

The classical Erdős-Szekeres theorem states that a convex k-gon exists in every sufficiently large point set. This problem has been well studied and finding tight asymptotic bounds is considered a challenging open problem. Several variants of the Erdős-Szekeres problem have been posed and studied in the last two decades. The well studied variants include the empty convex k-gon problem, convex k...

On the Erdos-Szekeres convex polygon problem

Let ES(n) be the smallest integer such that any set of ES(n) points in the plane in general position contains n points in convex position. In their seminal 1935 paper, Erdős and Szekeres showed that ES(n) ≤ ( 2n−4 n−2 ) + 1 = 4. In 1960, they showed that ES(n) ≥ 2 + 1 and conjectured this to be optimal. In this paper, we nearly settle the Erdős-Szekeres conjecture by showing that ES(n) = 2.

An interior-point algorithm for $P_{ast}(kappa)$-linear complementarity problem based on a new trigonometric kernel function

In this paper, an interior-point algorithm  for $P_{ast}(kappa)$-Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP) based on a new parametric trigonometric kernel function is proposed. By applying strictly feasible starting point condition and using some simple analysis tools, we prove that our algorithm has $O((1+2kappa)sqrt{n} log nlogfrac{n}{epsilon})$ iteration bound for large-update methods, which coinc...

Combinatorial Problems in Geometry and Number Theory

In a previous paper (given at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Nice 1970) entitled "On the application of combinatorial analysis to number theory geometry and analysis", I discussed many combinatorial results and their applications . I will refer to this paper as I (as much as possible I will try to avoid overlap with this paper) . First I discuss those problems mentioned in I wh...
