Distinct Triangle Areas in a Planar Point Set
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...

The Minimum Number of Distinct Areas of Triangles Determined by a Set of n Points in the Plane
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...

Extremal problems on triangle areas in two and three dimensions
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, ...

Measuring linearity of planar point sets
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...
