The generalized Sylvester's and orchard problems via discriminantal arrangement

Pragnya Das, Elisa Palezzato and Simona Settepanella

Vol. 21 (2024), No. 1, 117–130
Abstract

The discriminantal arrangement (n,k,𝒜) is an arrangement of hyperplanes constructed from a generic arrangement 𝒜 of n hyperplanes in a k-dimensional space generalizing the classical braid arrangement. In this paper, we tie the combinatorics of the discriminantal arrangement (n,k,𝒜) with the well-known generalized Sylvester’s and orchard problems and we present an example which shows how this connection could be useful to address those two problems.
