Let F be a family of n convex sets in the plane. A set of light sources S illuminates F if every point on the boundary of each element of F is visible from at least one element in S. We prove that if F is a family of n line segments, n >/11, then [-2n/3 7 light sources are always sufficient to illum

## Abstract In this paper, we show that there are at least __cq__ disjoint blocking sets in PG(2,__q__), where __c__βββ1/3. The result also extends to some nonβDesarguesian planes of order __q__. Β© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 14: 149β158, 2006
## Abstract We introduce a suitable notion of eightβshaped curve in the product __S__ Γ β of a Suslin line __S__ for the real line β, and we prove that if __S__ is dense in itself, then every collection of pairwise disjoint eightβshaped curves in __S__ Γ β is countable. This parallels a folklore re
Rend], F. and G. Woeginger, Reconstructing sets of orthogonal line segments in the plane, Discrete Mathematics 119 (1993) 1677174. We show that reconstructing a set of n orthogonal line segments in the plane from the set of their vertices can be done in O(n log n) time, if the segments are allowed
