Arrangements of n Points whose Incident-Line-Numbers are at most n/2

摘要

We consider a set X of n noncollinear points in the Euclidean plane, and the set of lines spanned by X, where n is an integer with n ≥ 3. Let t(X) be the maximum number of lines incident with a point of X. We consider the problem of finding a set X of n noncollinear points in the Euclidean plane with t(X) ≤ [n/2], for every integer n ≥ 8. In this paper, we settle the problem for every integer n except n = 12k + 11 (k ≥ 4). The latter case remains open.
