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...
A set of points in the plane is said to be in general position if no three of them are collinear and no four of them are cocircular. If a point set determines only distinct vector...
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...
