Erd˝os, Purdy, and Straus conjectured that the number of distinct (nonzero) areas of the triangles determined by n noncollinear points in the plane is at least n−1 2 , which is...
We prove a conjecture of Erdos, Purdy, and Straus on the number of distinct areas of triangles determined by a set of n points in the plane. We show that if P is a set of n points...
The study of extremal problems on triangle areas was initiated in a series of papers by Erdos and Purdy in the early 1970s. In this paper we present new results on such problems, ...

Our goal is to design algorithms that give a linearity measure for planar point sets. There is no explicit discussion on linearity in literature, although some existing shape meas...
