Applications of the crossing number

It is shown that any graph of n vertices that can be drawn in the plane with no k+1 pairwise crossing edges has at most c-c-k-n log 2-supscrpt-−2 edges, which gives a partial answer to a dual version of a well-known problem of Avital-Hanani, Erdo&huml;s, Kupitz, Perles, and others.

Combinatorial geometry

\indent This beautiful discipline emerged from number theory after the fruitful observation made by Minkowski (1896) that many important results in diophantine approximation (and in some other
