An Improvement of the Lower Bound on the Maximum Number of Halving Lines for Sets in the Plane with an Odd Number of Points by Javier Rodrigo, Mariló López, Danilo Magistrali, Estrella Alonso

“…In this paper, we give examples that improve the lower bound on the maximum number of halving lines for sets in the plane with 35, 59, 95, and 97 points and, as a consequence, we improve the current best upper bound of the rectilinear crossing number for sets in the plane with 35, 59, 95, and 97 points, provided that a conjecture included in the literature is true. …”
