The Erdős–Szekeres Theorem and Congruences
V. A. Koshelev Steklov Mathematical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
The following problem of combinatorial geometry is considered. Given positive integers $n$ and $q$, find or estimate a minimal number $h$ for which any set of $h$ points in general position in the plane contains $n$ vertices of a convex polygon for which the number of interior points is divisible by $q$. For a wide range of parameters, the existing bound for $h$ is dramatically improved.
Keywords:
Erdős–Szekeres problem, Erdős–Szekeres theorem, convex polygon, points in convex position, Ramsey theory.
