A circle will be called point-splitting if it has 3 points of S on its circumference, n-1 points in its interior and n-1 in its exterior. We show the surprising property that S always has exactly n^2 point- splitting circles, and prove a more general result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-10-18T23:28:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52C99", "05A99" ], "keywords": [ "point-splitting circles", "general result", "surprising property", "circumference" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.....10209A" } } }
