A combinatorial approach to the known projective planes of order nine

František Knoflíček (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

A combinatorial characterization of finite projective planes using strongly canonical forms of incidence matrices is presented. The corresponding constructions are applied to known projective planes of order 9. As a result a new description of the Hughes plane of order nine is obtained.

A Construction of a Skewaffine Structure in Laguerre Geometry

Andrzej Matraś (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

J. Andre constructed a skewaffine structure as a group space of a normally transitive group. In this paper his construction is used to describe the structure of the set of circles not passing through a point of a Laguerre plane. Sufficient conditions to ensure that this structure is a skewaffine plane are given.

A De Bruijn-Erdős theorem for 1 - 2 metric spaces

Václav Chvátal (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A special case of a combinatorial theorem of De Bruijn and Erdős asserts that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvátal suggested a possible generalization of this assertion in metric spaces with appropriately defined lines. We prove this generalization in all metric spaces where each nonzero distance equals 1 or 2 .

A decomposition of a set definable in an o-minimal structure into perfectly situated sets

Wiesław Pawłucki (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A definable subset of a Euclidean space X is called perfectly situated if it can be represented in some linear system of coordinates as a finite union of (graphs of) definable 𝓒¹-maps with bounded derivatives. Two subsets of X are called simply separated if they satisfy the Łojasiewicz inequality with exponent 1. We show that every closed definable subset of X of dimension k can be decomposed into a finite family of closed definable subsets each of which is perfectly situated and such that any...
