Abstract

Let P be a set of n green and n - k red points in ℂ2. A line determined by i green and j red points such that i + j ≥ 2 and |i - j| ≤ r is called r-equichromatic. We establish lower bounds for 1-equichromatic and 2-equichromatic lines. In particular, we show that if at most 2n-k-2 points of P are collinear, then the number of 1-equichromatic lines passing through at most six points is at least (1)/(4)(6n-k(k+3)), and if at most (2)/(3)(2n - k) points of P are collinear, then the number of 2-equichromatic lines passing through at most four points is at least (1)/(6)(10n - k(k + 5)).
