Optimality certificates for convex minimization and Helly numbers
We consider the problem of minimizing a convex function over a subset of R that is not necessarily convex (minimization of a convex function over the integer points in a polytope is a special case). We define a family of duals for this problem and show that, under some natural conditions, strong duality holds for a dual problem in this family that is more restrictive than previously considered ...
متن کاملCarathéodory, Helly and the Others in the Max-Plus World
Carathéodory’s, Helly’s and Radon’s theorems are three basic results in discrete geometry. Their max-plus counterparts have been proved by various authors. In this paper, more advanced results in discrete geometry are shown to have also their max-plus counterparts: namely, the colorful Carathéodory theorem and the Tverberg theorem. A conjecture connected to the Tverberg theorem – Sierksma’s con...
متن کاملHelly Numbers of Polyominoes
We define the Helly number of a polyomino P as the smallest number h such that the h-Helly property holds for the family of symmetric and translated copies of P on the integer grid. We prove the following: (i) the only polyominoes with Helly number 2 are the rectangles, (ii) there does not exist any polyomino with Helly number 3, (iii) there exist polyminoes of Helly number k for any k 6= 1, 3.
متن کاملBounding Helly Numbers via Betti Numbers
We show that very weak topological assumptions are enough to ensure the existence of a Hellytype theorem. More precisely, we show that for any non-negative integers b and d there exists an integer h(b, d) such that the following holds. If F is a finite family of subsets of R such that β̃i ( ⋂G) ≤ b for any G ( F and every 0 ≤ i ≤ dd/2e−1 then F has Helly number at most h(b, d). Here β̃i denotes t...
متن کاملHelly numbers of acyclic families
The Helly number of a family of sets with empty intersection is the size of its largest inclusionwise minimal sub-family with empty intersection. Let F be a finite family of open subsets of an arbitrary locally arc-wise connected topological space Γ. Assume that for every sub-family G ⊆ F the intersection of the elements of G has at most r connected components, each of which is a Q-homology cel...
