Abstract

We show that a set of n points in the plane determine O(n2 log n) triples that define the same angle α, and that for many angles α (including π/2) this bound is tight in the worst case. We also show that, for a broad family of properties Image , the number of triangles spanned by the given points and having property Image is O(n7/3). Typical such properties are: having a specified area, a specified perimeter, being isosceles, etc.
