Let P be a planar point set with no three points collinear, k points of P be a k-hole of P if the k points are the vertices of a convex polygon without points of P. This article proves 13 is the smallest integer such that any planar points set containing at least 13 points with no three points collinear, contains a 3-hole, a 4-hole and a 5-hole which are pairwise disjoint.

In this paper we study a problem related to the classical Erdos--Szekeres Theorem on finding points in convex position in planar point sets. We study for which n and k there exists a number h(n,k) such that in every planar point set X of size h(n,k) or larger, no three points on a line, we can find n points forming a vertex set of a convex n-gon with at most k points of X in its interior. Recall that h(n,0) does not exist for n = 7 by a result of Horton. In this paper we prove the following results. First, using Horton's construction with no empty 7-gon we obtain that h(n,k) does not exist for k = 2(n+6)/4-n-3. Then we give some exact results for convex hexagons: every point set containing a convex hexagon contains a convex hexagon with at most seven points inside it, and any such set of at least 19 points contains a convex hexagon with at most five points inside it.
