Let P be a set of n points in general position in the plane, and let T C P. CH(T) is called an empty polygon if no points of P lie in the interior of CH(T), where "CH" stands for the convex hull, and we simply say T is an empty polygon. Notice that we always regard T as empty polygons if |T| ≤ 2. A partition of P is called a convex partition if P is partitioned by k subsets S1, S2, ...,Sk, such that each CH(Si) is an |Si| - gon. If CH(Si) ∩ CH(Sj) = φ, i ≠ j, then the partition is called a disjoint partition of P;If no points of P lie in CH(Si) for each i, i.e., CH(Si) ≌ Φ(P),we call this partition an empty partition of P, here CH(Si) is allowed to intersect CH(Sj).Let k be a positive integer and Nkπ(P) be the number of convex k-gons in a partition π of P. Let Nπ(P) be the number of convex polygons in a partition π of P. We denote :fk(P) = max{Nkπ(P) : π is a disjiont partition of P},Fk(n) =: min{fk(P) : |P| = n};f(P) =: min{Nπ(P) : is is a disjiont partition of P},F(n) =: max{f(P) :|P| = n};g(P) =: mm{Nπ(P) :π is an empty partition of P},G(n) =: max{g(P) : |P| = n}.These functions have been studied widely, and some important results have been obtained.In this paper, we define:gk(P) =: max{Nkπ (P) : π is an empty partition of P}, G,(n) =: min{gk(P) : |P| = n}.and obtain some important results about Gk(n): G4(13) = 3.G4(n) > LiJ-G4(n) > ^(n = 17 ? 2k1 -4,k> 1).P be a set of 15 points, if |V(P)| = i (8 < i < 15), g5(P) > 2.Also, we give new and concise proofs of two famous results F(7) < 2 and G(ll) < 3.
