In this paper we study a problem related to the classical Erdos--Szekeres Theorem on finding points in convex position in planar point sets. We study for which n and k there exists a number h(n,k) such that in every planar point set X of size h(n,k) or larger, no three points on a line, we can find n points forming a vertex set of a convex n-gon with at most k points of X in its interior. Recall that h(n,0) does not exist for n = 7 by a result of Horton. In this paper we prove the following results. First, using Horton's construction with no empty 7-gon we obtain that h(n,k) does not exist for k = 2(n+6)/4-n-3. Then we give some exact results for convex hexagons: every point set containing a convex hexagon contains a convex hexagon with at most seven points inside it, and any such set of at least 19 points contains a convex hexagon with at most five points inside it.

We give an optimal bound on the number of transitions of the minimum weight base of an integer valued parametric polymatroid. This generalizes and unifies Tamal Dey's O(k1/3 n) upper bound on the number of k-sets (and the complexity of the k-level of a straight-line arrangement), David Eppstein's lower bound on the number of transitions of the minimum weight base of a parametric matroid, and also the Θ(kn) bound on the complexity of the at-most-k level (the union of i-levels for i = 1,2,…,k) of a straight-line arrangement. As applications, we improve Welzl's upper bound on the sum of the complexities of multiple levels, and apply this bound to the number of different equal-sized-bucketings of a planar point set with parallel partition lines. We also consider an application to a special parametric transportation problem.

Pattern Matching Algorithm

Point pattern matching is an important topic of computer vision and pattern recognition. In this paper, we propose a point pattern matching algorithm for two planar point sets under Euclidean transform. We view a point set as a complete graph, establish the relation between the point set and the complete graph, and solve the point pattern matching problem by finding congruent complete graphs. Experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.
