A de Bruijn-Erdős theorem in graphs?

V Chvátal - Graph Theory: Favorite Conjectures and Open …, 2018 - Springer
A set of n points in the Euclidean plane determines at least n distinct lines unless these n
points are collinear. In 2006, Chen and Chvátal asked whether the same statement holds …

A new class of graphs that satisfies the Chen‐Chvátal conjecture

P Aboulker, M Matamala, P Rochet… - Journal of Graph …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
A well‐known combinatorial theorem says that a set of n non‐collinear points in the plane
determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvátal conjectured that this theorem extends …

Graphs with no induced house nor induced hole have the de Bruijn–Erdös property

P Aboulker, L Beaudou, M Matamala… - Journal of Graph …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
A set of nn points in the plane which are not all collinear defines at least nn distinct lines.
Chen and Chvátal conjectured in 2008 that a similar result can be achieved in the broader …

Lines in bipartite graphs and in 2‐metric spaces

M Matamala, J Zamora - Journal of Graph Theory, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The line generated by two distinct points, x and y, in a finite metric space M=(V, d), is the set
of points given by {z∈ V: d (x, y)=| d (x, z)+ d (z, y)| or d (x, y)=| d (x, z)− d (z, y)|}. It is denoted …

Improved lower bound towards Chen-Chv\'atal conjecture

C Huang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2310.15058, 2023 - arxiv.org
We prove that in every metric space where no line contains all the points, there are at least
$\Omega (n^{2/3}) $ lines. This improves the previous $\Omega (\sqrt {n}) $ lower bound on …

Lines in the Plane with the Metric

A well-known theorem in plane geometry states that any set of n non-collinear points in the
plane determines at least n lines. Chen and Chvátal asked whether an analogous statement …

A de Bruijn and Erdös property in quasi-metric spaces with four points

G Araujo-Pardo, M Matamala, J Zamora - Procedia Computer Science, 2023 - Elsevier
It is a classic result that a set of n non-collinear points in the Euclidean plane defines at least
n different lines. Chen and Chvátal conjectured in 2008 that the same results is true in metric …
