The question as I’ve just phrased it is unanswerable because neither “secure” nor (e...

Lines With Many Points On Both Sides

Let G be a finite set of points in the plane. A line M is a (k, k)-line, if M is determined by G, and there are at least k points of G in each of the two open half-planes bounded by M . Let f(k, k) denote the maximum size of a set G in the plane, which is not contained in a line and does not determine a (k, k)-line. In this paper we improve previous results of Jaakov Kupitz (f(k, k) ≤ 3k), Noga...
