چکیده

We study the complexity of finding Tverberg partitions within various convexity spaces. For the classic geometric version of Tverberg’s theorem, we obtain probabilistic algorithms that are weakly polynomial in both the dimension and the number of points. These algorithms extend to other variations, such as the integer version of Tverberg’s theorem. For geodetic convexity on graphs, we show that the general problem of finding Radon partitions is NP-hard, and present efficient algorithms for certain special classes of graphs.

Tverberg's theorem with constraints

We extend the topological Tverberg theorem in the following way: Pairs of points are forced to end up in different partition blocks. This leads to the concept of constraint graphs. In Tverberg’s theorem with constraints, we come up with a list of constraints graphs for the topological Tverberg theorem. The proof is based on connectivity results of chessboard-type complexes. Tverberg’s theorem w...

Scribe: Thành Nguyen

In this lecture note, we describe some properties of convex sets and their connection with a more general model in topological spaces. In particular, we discuss Tverberg's theorem, Borsuk's conjecture and related problems. First we give some basic properties of convex sets in R d. a i is also in S. Definition 2. Convex hull of a set A, denoted by conv(A), is the set of all convex combination of...

Colourful Linear Programming and its Relatives

We consider the following Colourful generalization of Linear Programming: given sets of points S, ... , Sk C Rd, referred to as colours, and a point b E Rd, decide whether there is a colourful T = {s ..., Sk such that b E conv(T), and if there is one, find it. Linear Programming is obtained by taking k = d + 1 and S = = Sd,+. + If k = d + 1 and b E nf I+ conv(S) then a solution always exists: w...

A Colored Version of Tverberg's Theorem

The main result of this paper is that given r red, r white, and r green points in the plane, it is possible to form r vertex-disjoint triangles Aj,...,Ar in such a way that A, has one red, one white, and one green vertex for every / = l , . . . , r and the intersection of these triangles is non-empty.

Centerpoints and Tverberg's technique

Using a technique that Tverberg and Vrecica [TV93] discovered to give a surprisingly simple proof of Tverberg’s theorem, we show the following extension of the centerpoint theorem: given any set P of n points in the plane, and a parameter 1/3 ≤ c ≤ 1, one can always find a disk D such that any closed half-space containing D contains at least cn points of P , and furthermore, D contains at most ...
