We study a variant of the ErdH os unit distance problem, concerning angles between successive triples of points chosen from a large finite point set. Specifically, given a large finite set of $n$ points $E$, and a sequence of angles $(alpha_1,ldots,alpha_k)$, we give upper and lower bounds on the maximum possible number of tuples of distinct points $(x_1,dots, x_{k+2})in E^{k+2}$ satisfying $angle (x_j,x_{j+1},x_{j+2})=alpha_j$ for every $1le j le k$ as well as pinned analogues.

The ErdH{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Less well known is ErdH{o}s distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear points in the plane. The s tandard problem is already well understood. However, it admits many of the same variants as the distinct distance problem, many of which are unstudied. We provide upper and lower bounds on a broad class of distinct angle problems. We show that the number of distinct angles formed by $n$ points in general position is $O(n^{log_2(7)})$, providing the first non-trivial bound for this quantity. We introduce a new class of asymptotically optimal point configurations with no four cocircular points. Then, we analyze the sensitivity of asymptotically optimal point sets to perturbation, yielding a much broader class of asymptotically optimal configurations. In higher dimensions we show that a variant of Lenzs construction admits fewer distinct angles than the optimal configurations in two dimensions. We also show that the minimum size of a maximal subset of $n$ points in general position admitting only unique angles is $Omega(n^{1/5})$ and $O(n^{log_2(7)/3})$. We also provide bounds on the partite variants of the standard distinct angle problem.
Interior and exterior angle vectors of polytopes capture curvature information at faces of all dimensions and can be seen as metric variants of $f$-vectors. In this context, Grams relation takes the place of the Euler-Poincare relation as the unique linear relation among interior angles. We show the existence and uniqueness of Euler-Poincare-type relations for generalized angle vectors by building a bridge to the algebraic combinatorics of geometric lattices, generalizing work of Klivans-Swartz. We introduce flag-angles of polytopes as a geometric counterpart to flag-$f$-vectors. Flag-angles generalize the angle deficiencies of Descartes-Shephard, Grassmann angles, and spherical intrinsic volumes. Using the machinery of incidence algebras, we relate flag-angles of zonotopes to flag-$f$-vectors of graded posets. This allows us to determine the linear relations satisfied by interior/exterior flag-angle vectors.
We study variants of Mastermind, a popular board game in which the objective is sequence reconstruction. In this two-player game, the so-called textit{codemaker} constructs a hidden sequence $H = (h_1, h_2, ldots, h_n)$ of colors selected from an alp habet $mathcal{A} = {1,2,ldots, k}$ (textit{i.e.,} $h_iinmathcal{A}$ for all $iin{1,2,ldots, n}$). The game then proceeds in turns, each of which consists of two parts: in turn $t$, the second player (the textit{codebreaker}) first submits a query sequence $Q_t = (q_1, q_2, ldots, q_n)$ with $q_iin mathcal{A}$ for all $i$, and second receives feedback $Delta(Q_t, H)$, where $Delta$ is some agreed-upon function of distance between two sequences with $n$ components. The game terminates when $Q_t = H$, and the codebreaker seeks to end the game in as few turns as possible. Throughout we let $f(n,k)$ denote the smallest integer such that the codebreaker can determine any $H$ in $f(n,k)$ turns. We prove three main results: First, when $H$ is known to be a permutation of ${1,2,ldots, n}$, we prove that $f(n, n)ge n - loglog n$ for all sufficiently large $n$. Second, we show that Knuths Minimax algorithm identifies any $H$ in at most $nk$ queries. Third, when feedback is not received until all queries have been submitted, we show that $f(n,k)=Omega(nlog k)$.
In this paper we initiate the study of tropical Voronoi diagrams. We start out with investigating bisectors of finitely many points with respect to arbitrary polyhedral norms. For this more general scenario we show that bisectors of three points are homeomorphic to a non-empty open subset of Euclidean space, provided that certain degenerate cases are excluded. Specializing our results to tropical bisectors then yields structural results and algorithms for tropical Voronoi diagrams.
A classic theorem of Euclidean geometry asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chvatal conjectured that this holds for an arbitrary finite metric space, with a certain natural def inition of lines in a metric space. We prove that in any metric space with $n$ points, either there is a line containing all the points or there are at least $Omega(sqrt{n})$ lines. This is the first polynomial lower bound on the number of lines in general finite metric spaces. In the more general setting of pseudometric betweenness, we prove a corresponding bound of $Omega(n^{2/5})$ lines. When the metric space is induced by a connected graph, we prove that either there is a line containing all the points or there are $Omega(n^{4/7})$ lines, improving the previous $Omega(n^{2/7})$ bound. We also prove that the number of lines in an $n$-point metric space is at least $n / 5w$, where $w$ is the number of different distances in the space, and we give an $Omega(n^{4/3})$ lower bound on the number of lines in metric spaces induced by graphs with constant diameter, as well as spaces where all the positive distances are from {1, 2, 3}.
