Title
On the Erdős-Szekeres n-interior-point problem
Abstract
The n-interior-point variant of the Erdos-Szekeres problem is the following: for every n,n=1, does there exist a g(n) such that every point set in the plane with at least g(n) interior points has a convex polygon containing exactly n interior points. The existence of g(n) has been proved only for n@?3. In this paper, we show that for any fixed r=2, and for every n=5, every point set having sufficiently large number of interior points and at most r convex layers contains a subset with exactly n interior points. We also consider a relaxation of the notion of convex polygons and show that for every n,n=1, any point set with at least n interior points has an almost convex polygon (a simple polygon with at most one concave vertex) that contains exactly n interior points.
