A Note on the Minimum Size of a Point Set Containing Three Nonintersecting Empty Convex Polygons

Let P be a planar point set with no three points collinear, k points of P be a k-hole of P if the k points are the vertices of a convex polygon without points of P. This article proves 13 is the smallest integer such that any planar points set containing at least 13 points with no three points colli...
