The number of equations defining points in general position

Timothy DuWayne Sauer

Vol. 120 (1985), No. 1, 199–213
Abstract

Bounds are established for the number of generators of the graded homogeneous ideal of a set of points in generic or in uniform position in the projective plane. For n 11, n points in uniform position must have the “general” number of generators. It is shown by example that this fails for n = 12.
