Conjectured unbounded imbalance for stretchable point configurations
Conjectured unbounded imbalance for stretchable point configurations
For a finite set of points in the plane, consider every line determined by at least two points of the set, and compare the numbers of points on its two sides. Stretchable-configuration conjecture. There exists an unbounded function such that, for every natural number , there is a set of points for which the numbers of points on either side of each line determined by the set differ by at least . The paper's construction establishes the analogous phenomenon for pseudoline arrangements, while the stretchability of such configurations remains open; the conjecture proposes that configurations realizable by lines can also exhibit unbounded imbalance.
