As corollaries, we obtain formulas for the number of lines through at least q points and, respectively, through exactly q points of the grid. The well-known case k=2 is so generalized. We also present recursive formulas for these numbers assuming k=2, n_1=n_2. The well-known case q=2 is so generalized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-08-04T10:41:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A99", "11B37", "11P21" ], "keywords": [ "rectangular grid", "well-known case", "line segments connecting" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1108.1041H" } } }
