Title
On the existence of ordinary triangles.
Abstract
Let P be a finite point set in the plane. A c-ordinary triangle in P is a subset of P consisting of three non-collinear points such that each of the three lines determined by the three points contains at most c points of P. Motivated by a question of Erdős, and answering a question of de Zeeuw, we prove that there exists a constant c>0 such that P contains a c-ordinary triangle, provided that P is not contained in the union of two lines. Furthermore, the number of c-ordinary triangles in P is Ω(|P|).
