Given a set of points , a subset with is called k-gon if all points of X lie on the boundary of the convex hull of X, and k-hole if, in addition, no point of lies in the convex hull of X. We use computer assistance to show that every set of 17 points in general position admits two disjoint 5-holes, that is, holes with disjoint respective convex hulls. This answers a question of Hosono and Urabe (2001). We also provide new bounds for three and more pairwise disjoint holes.
In a recent article, Hosono and Urabe (2018) present new results on interior-disjoint holes – a variant, which also has been investigated in the last two decades. Using our program, we show that every set of 15 points contains two interior-disjoint 5-holes.
Moreover, our program can be used to verify that every set of 17 points contains a 6-gon within significantly smaller computation time than the original program by Szekeres and Peters (2006). Another independent verification of this result was done by Marić (2019).

点集中有两个不相交的5孔
给定一点 ,一个子集 与 被称为K-坤如果的所有点X谎言的凸包的边界上X,和K-孔如果,此外,没有点的位于X的凸包中。我们使用计算机辅助来表明,在一般位置上的每17个点集都允许有两个不相交的5孔,即具有不相交的凸包的孔。这回答了Hosono和Urabe(2001)的问题。我们还为三个或更多个成对的不相交孔提供了新的边界。
Hosono和Urabe(2018)在最近的一篇文章中介绍了内部不相交孔的新结果–一种变体,最近二十年来也进行了研究。使用我们的程序,我们表明每15个点集包含两个内部不相交的5孔。
此外,我们的程序可以用来验证每17个点集在比Szekeres和Peters(2006)的原始程序更短的计算时间内就包含一个6边形。Marić(2019)对此结果进行了另一项独立验证。
