Abstract:

Consider a set of n points in general position in the plane. Call the edge formed by any two of them a halving edge if both the closed halfplanes defined by the correspondent line contain n/2 points of the set. We'll talk about upper and lower bounds for the maximum number of halving edges among such sets.
