The emph{distance-number} of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct edge-lengths over all straight-line drawings of $G$ in the plane. This definition generalises many well-known concepts in combinatorial geometry. We consider the distance-number of trees, graphs with no $K^-_4$-minor, complete bipartite graphs, complete graphs, and cartesian products. Our main results concern the distance-number of graphs with bounded degree. We prove that $n$-vertex graphs with bounded maximum degree and bounded treewidth have distance-number in $mathcal{O}(log n)$. To conclude such a logarithmic upper bound, both the degree and the treewidth need to be bounded. In particular, we construct graphs with treewidth 2 and polynomial distance-number. Similarly, we prove that there exist graphs with maximum degree 5 and arbitrarily large distance-number. Moreover, as $Delta$ increases the existential lower bound on the distance-number of $Delta$-regular graphs tends to $Omega(n^{0.864138})$.
We study ErdH oss distinct distances problem under $ell_p$ metrics with integer $p$. We improve the current best bound for this problem from $Omega(n^{4/5})$ to $Omega(n^{6/7-epsilon})$, for any $epsilon>0$. We also characterize the sets that span an
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $kge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary points, such
We consider the problem of placing arrow heads in directed graph drawings without them overlapping other drawn objects. This gives drawings where edge directions can be deduced unambiguously. We show hardness of the problem, present exact and heuristic algorithms, and report on a practical study.
In this paper we obtain a new lower bound on the ErdH{o}s distinct distances problem in the plane over prime fields. More precisely, we show that for any set $Asubset mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|A|le p^{7/6}$, the number of distinct distances determined by
For any cofinite Fuchsian group $Gammasubset {rm PSL}(2, mathbb{R})$, we show that any set of $N$ points on the hyperbolic surface $Gammabackslashmathbb{H}^2$ determines $geq C_{Gamma} frac{N}{log N}$ distinct distances for some constant $C_{Gamma}>0
