Title
On $k$-Gons and $k$-Holes in Point Sets.
Abstract
We consider a variation of the classical Erdős–Szekeres problems on the existence and number of convex k-gons and k-holes (empty k-gons) in a set of n points in the plane. Allowing the k-gons to be non-convex, we show bounds and structural results on maximizing and minimizing their numbers. Most noteworthy, for any k and sufficiently large n, we give a quadratic lower bound for the number of k-holes, and show that this number is maximized by sets in convex position.
