We prove that for every positive integer m there is a finite point set \(\cal{P}\) in the plane such that no matter how \(\cal{P}\) is three-colored, there is always a disk containing exactly m points, all of the same color. This improves a result of Pach, Tardos and Tóth who proved the same for two colors. The main ingredient of the construction is a subconstruction whose points are in convex position. Namely, we show that for every positive integer m there is a finite point set \(\cal{P}\) in the plane in convex position such that no matter how \(\cal{P}\) is two-colored, there is always a disk containing exactly m points, all of the same color. We also prove that for unit disks no similar construction can work, and several other results.

用圆盘实现m-均匀四色超图
我们证明对于每个正整数m在平面上都有一个有限点集\(\cal{P}\)使得无论\(\cal{P}\)如何是三色的,总有一个圆盘正好包含m个点,所有的颜色都相同。这改善了 Pach、Tardos 和 Tóth 的结果,他们证明了两种颜色的结果相同。构造的主要成分是一个子构造,其点在凸位置。即,我们证明对于每个正整数 m 在凸位置的平面中都有一个有限点集\(\cal{P}\)使得无论\(\cal{P}\)是双色的,总是有一个磁盘正好包含m点,都是一样的颜色。我们还证明了对于单位圆盘,没有类似的构造可以工作,以及其他几个结果。
