Trapezoids and Deltoids in Wide Planar Point Sets

We call a set of n points in the Euclidean plane “wide” if at most n of its points are collinear. We show that in such sets, the maximum possible number of trapezoids is Ω ( n 3 log n ) and O ( n 3 log 2 n ) while for deltoids we have Ω ( n 5 / 2 ) and O ( n 8 / 3 log n ) .
