have yet to..
I have a doubt with the structure "have yet to"

First of all, do the following mean the sam?e : I haven't figured it out yet = I've yet to figure it out ?

- I've yet to meet anyone who can run as fast as him (= I haven't met anyone who can run as fast as him yet ??)
- I've not yet to meet anyone who can run as fast as him ( does this mean the same as the sentence above?)

Also, what's the difference between "I've yet to..." and "I'm yet to.."
-I've yet to buy the tickets
-I'm yet to buy the tickets

Answer

I think you understand this fine.  Your sentences are all fine except "I'm yet to buy the tickets."  That is not proper.  
You can think of "yet" as "todavia" in this context.  "No he averiguado todavia" = "Todavia no he averiguado."  
"todavia no he comprado las entradas" = I've yet to buy the tickets.  However, "todavia no estoy comprar las entradas" = "I'm yet to buy the tickets" does not make sense.
