摘要
In this paper we study some Erdos type problems in discrete geometry. Our main result is that we show that there is a planar point set of n points such that no four are collinear but no matter how we choose a subset of size n(5/6 +o(1)) it contains a collinear triple. Another application studies epsilon-nets in a point-line system in the plane. We prove the existence of some geometric constructions with a new tool, the so-called Hypergraph Container Method.
