Davenport-Schinzel sequences and their geometric applications

TL;DR: A close to linear bound on the maximum length of Davenport--Schinzel sequences enable us to derive sharp bounds on the combinatorial structure underlying various geometric problems, which in turn yields efficient algorithms for these problems.

On the Number of Reduced Decompositions of Elements of Coxeter Groups

TL;DR: Using the theory of symmetric functions, a formula is found for r(w) when W is the symmetric group Sn and for the element w0 ∈ Sn of longest length and certain other w ∉ Sn the formula is particularly simple.

Dissection Graphs of Planar Point Sets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the dissection graphs of planar point sets and discuss the general properties of the graphs G k, which can be constructed as follows: any oriented line is to be translated to its left until it meets a point p 1 of S. This line will be called l (0).

On the Combinatorial Classification of Nondegenerate Configurations in the Plane

TL;DR: It is proved that for n ⩽ 5 every sequence essentially distinct from this one is realized geometrically by giving a complete classification of configurations by developing some basic notions of the geometry of “allowable sequences” in the course of proving this classification theorem.

On the Number of k-Subsets of a Set of n Points in the Plane

TL;DR: By generalizing to a combinatorial problem, it is shown that for 2 k n the number of sets of size at most k is at most 2 nk − 2 k 2 − k.
