Abstract: A planar node set mathcalX, with is called GCn set if each node possesses fundamental polynomial in form of a product of n linear factors. We say that a node uses a line Ax+By+C=0 if Ax+By+C divides the fundamental polynomial of the node. A line is called k-node line if it passes through exactly k-nodes of mathcalX. At most n+1 nodes can be collinear in GCn sets and an (n+1)-node line is called maximal line. The Gasca - Maeztu conjecture (1982) states that every GCn set has a maximal line. Until now the conjecture has been proved only for the cases nle5. Here we adjust and prove a conjecture proposed in the paper - V. Bayramyan, H. H., Adv Comput Math, 43: 607-626, 2017. Namely, by assuming that the Gasca-Maeztu conjecture is true, we prove that for any GCn set mathcalX and any k-node line ell the following statement holds: Either the line ell is not used at all, or it is used by exactly nodes of mathcalX, where s satisfies the condition sigma:=2kn1leslek. If in addition sigmage3 and mu(mathcalX)>3 then the first case here is excluded, i.e., the line ell is necessarily a used line. Here mu(mathcalX) denotes the number of maximal lines of mathcalX. At the end, we bring a characterization for the usage of k-node lines in GCn sets when sigma=2 and mu(mathcalX)>3.
