چکیده

The Radon number of a graph is the minimum integer r such that all sets of at least r vertices of the graph can be partitioned into two subsets whose convex hulls intersect. We present a near-linear O(d log d) time algorithm to calculate the Radon number of d-dimensional grids in the geodetic convexity. To date, no polynomial time algorithm was known for this problem.

On the geodetic Radon number of grids

It is NP-hard to determine the Radon number of graphs in the geodetic convexity. However, for certain classes of graphs, this well-known convexity parameter can be determined efficiently. In this paper, we focus on geodetic convexity spaces built upon d-dimensional grids, which are the Cartesian products of d paths. After revisiting a result of Eckhoff concerning the Radon number of Rd in the c...

Algorithmic aspects of Tverberg's Theorem

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...

Convexities in Some Special Graph Classes - New Results in AT-free Graphs and Beyond

We study convexity properties of graphs. In this paper we present a linear-time algorithm for the geodetic number in tree-cographs. Settling a 10-year-old conjecture, we prove that the Steiner number is at least the geodetic number in AT-free graphs. Computing a maximal and proper monophonic set in AT-free graphs is NP-complete. We present polynomial algorithms for the monophonic number in perm...

Discrete convexity : retractions, morphisms and the partition problem

Introducing certain types of morphisms for general (abstract) convexity spaces, we give several ways for reducing the (Calder-) Eckhoff partition problem to simpler equivalent forms (finite, point-convex, interval spaces; restricted form, i.e. with distinct points). With additional results (to appear in a forthcoming paper) we show how the general problem can be reduced to its restricted versio...

A full NT-step O(n) infeasible interior-point method for Cartesian P_*(k) –HLCP over symmetric cones using exponential convexity

In this paper, by using the exponential convexity property of a barrier function, we propose an infeasible interior-point method for Cartesian P_*(k) horizontal linear complementarity problem over symmetric cones. The method uses Nesterov and Todd full steps, and we prove that the proposed algorithm is well define. The iteration bound coincides with the currently best iteration bound for the Ca...
