    The rectilinear local crossing number of KnK_n

    Full text link
    We determine lcrˉ(Kn){\bar{\rm{lcr}}}(K_n), the rectilinear local crossing number of the complete graph KnK_n for every nn. More precisely, for every n{8,14},n \notin \{8, 14 \}, lcrˉ(Kn)=12(n3n33)n33, {\bar{\rm{lcr}}}(K_n)=\left\lceil \frac{1}{2} \left( n-3-\left\lceil \frac{n-3}{3} \right\rceil \right) \left\lceil \frac{n-3}{3} \right\rceil \right\rceil, lcrˉ(K8)=4{\bar{\rm{lcr}}}(K_8)=4, and lcrˉ(K14)=15{\bar{\rm{lcr}}}(K_{14})=15.Comment: 6 Figures. Changes from v1: Added keywords, MSC2010 codes, a single formula to consider all cases together, and the resolution of the case n=14 that remained as a conjecture on the previous version. Changes from v2: A minor error in Lemma 2 was corrected. Some typos were fixed. Figure 1 was eliminated and Figures 2 and 5 were improved slightly. The last section was split into two section
