Some notes on the Erdős-Szekeres theorem (Q1182859)

The authors consider the following extension of the Erdős-Szekeres theorem; let \(S\) be a set of points in general position in \(E^ 2\) and \(q \geq 0\) and \(n \geq 3\) be integers. Does there exist an integer \(C(n,q)\) such that if \(| S| \geq C(n,q)\) then \(S\) contains the vertices of a convex \(n\)-gon such that the number of points of \(S\) in the \(n\)-gon is \(0\bmod q\). The answer is yes if \(n \geq q+3\) or \(n\equiv 2\bmod q\). Given \(S\) as above and a function from \(S\) into \(E^ 2\), they also prove the existence of a certain canonical configuration.
