Left and right halves of convex curve
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane in general position (no 3 on a line), $n$ even.
A halving line is a line through $2$ points of $S$ that partitions $S$ into 2 equal parts ($(n-2)/2$ points ...

Counting points above lines
Consider a set $P$ of $N$ points in the unit square and a set $L$ of $N$ non-vertical lines. Can we count the number of pairs $$\{(p,\ell)\in P\times L: p\; \text{lies above}\; \ell\}$$ in time $\...

Complexity of counting regions in hyperplane arrangements
Let $H_1,\ldots,H_n$ be hyperplanes in $\Bbb R^d$. Denote $\mathcal{H} :=\{H_1,\ldots,H_n\}$ and let $c(\mathcal{H})$ be the number of regions in the complement: $\Bbb R^d\setminus \bigcup H_i$.

On finding optimal convex planar shapes to cover a given convex planar shape
Covering a specific convex shape S with n copies of another specified convex shape S' (which may be different from S) is well studied - for example, https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/index.html....

Several convex polytopes in a simplex; fix an extreme point for each; how many can be supported by a function monotonic on all line segments?
Sorry the title may be unclear. I do not know how to give it a good title.....
Let $\Delta$ be a probability simplex of $R^N$; i.e. set of all points $x$ such that $x\geq0$ and $\sum_{k=1}^Nx^k\leq1$....

Do random triangulation edge-flips maintain randomness?
Let $S$ be a fixed set of $n$ points in the plane in general position.
Let $T$ be a triangulation
of $S$, (somehow) selected
uniformly at random from all triangulations of $S$.
(There are an ...

Average vertex degree in finite Delaunay triangulations in high dimensions
In $\mathbb{R}^2$ it's known that with a "random" point configuration, the average degree of a vertex in its Delaunay triangulation is 6.
Does anyone know of a similar result in higher dimension? I ...
