Distinct Angles and Angle Chains in Three Dimensions
Published in Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2023
In 1946 Erdős posed the distinct distance problem, asking for the minimum number of distinct distances determined by n points in the plane. This paper takes up the analogous question for angles in three dimensions, studying distinct angles and angle chains for point configurations in general position. Joint work from the SMALL REU at Williams.
