Title
Monotonic polygons and paths in weighted point sets
Abstract
Let P be a set of n points such that each of its elements has a unique weight in {1, …,n}. P is called a wp-set. A non-crossing polygonal line connecting some elements of P in increasing (or decreasing) order of their weights is called a monotonic path of P. A simple polygon with vertices in P is called monotonic if it is formed by a monotonic path and an edge connecting its endpoints. In this paper we study the problem of finding large monotonic polygons and paths in wp-sets. We establish some sharp bounds concerning these problems. We also study extremal problems on the number of monotonic paths and polygons of a wp-set.
