Distinct distances in three and higher dimensions
Improving an old result of Clarkson et al., we show that the number of distinct distances determined by a set P of n points in three-dimensional space is (n77/141) = (n0.546 ), fo...

On distinct distances from a vertex of a convex polygon
Given a set P of n points in convex position in the plane, we prove that there exists a point p ∈ P such that the number of distinct distances from p is at least (13n−6)/36 . ...

On the Geometric Dilation of Finite Point Sets
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. For two arbitrary points of G, we can compare the length of the shortest path in G connecting them against their Euclid...

On the Reflexivity of Point Sets
We introduce a new measure for planar point sets S that captures a combinatorial distance that S is from being a convex set: The reflexivity (S) of S is given by the smallest numb...

On empty convex polygons in a planar point set
Let P be a set of n points in general position in the plane. Let Xk(P ) denote the number of empty convex k-gons determined by P. We derive, using elementary proof techniques, sev...
