A Bichromatic Incidence Bound and an Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove a new, tight upper bound on the number of incidences between points and hyperplanes in Euclidean d-space. Given n points, of which k are colored red, there are Od(m 2/3 k 2/3 n +kn+m) incidences between the k red points and m hyperplanes spanned by all n points provided that m = Ω(n). For the monochromatic case k = n, this was proved by Agarwal and Aronov [1]. We use this incidence bound to prove that a set of n points, no more than n − k of which lie on any plane or two lines, spans Ω(nk) planes. We also provide an infinite family of counterexamples to a conjecture of Purdy’s [2] on the number of hyperplanes spanned by a set of points in dimensions higher than 3, and present new conjectures not subject to the counterexample.

متن کاملA new approach to compute acyclic chromatic index of certain chemical structures
An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph $G$ denoted by $chi_a '(G)$ is the minimum number $k$ such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using $k$ colors. The maximum degree in $G$ denoted by $Delta(G)$, is the lower bound for $chi_a '(G)$. $P$-cuts introduced in this paper acts as a powerfu...
متن کاملPoint-Set Embeddability of 2-Colored Trees
In this paper we study bichromatic point-set embeddings of 2-colored trees on 2-colored point sets, i.e., point-set embeddings of trees (whose vertices are colored red and blue) on point sets (whose points are colored red and blue) such that each red (blue) vertex is mapped to a red (resp. blue) point. We prove that deciding whether a given 2-colored tree admits a bichromatic point-set embeddin...
متن کاملA Note on the Number of Bichromatic Lines
Let G be a set of points in the plane which are colored red or green. If the number of red points differ from the number of green points by at most 1 and no color class is collinear, then there are at least |G| − 3 bichromatic lines which are determined by G. We conjecture that the tight lower bound is in fact |G| − 1.

The natural gas market is currently undergoing dramatic changes and is becoming globalized. One of the major developments in the global natural gas market in recent years is the establishment of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF). Since the founding of this forum, there have been many speculations about whether GECF would become a cartel like OPEC. Cartels contributes to the coordination ...
