چکیده

We propose a general technique related to the polytopal Sperner lemma for proving old and new multilabeled versions of Sperner’s lemma. A notable application of this technique yields a cake-cutting theorem where the number of players and the number of pieces can be independently chosen. We also prove multilabeled versions of Fan’s lemma, a combinatorial analogue of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem, and exhibit applications to fair division and graph coloring.

PPAD-completeness of polyhedral versions of Sperner's Lemma

We show that certain polyhedral versions of Sperner’s Lemma, where the colouring is given explicitly as part of the input, are PPAD-complete. The proofs are based on two recent results on the complexity of computational problems in game theory: the PPAD-completeness of 2-player Nash, proved by Chen and Deng, and of Scarf’s Lemma, proved by Kintali. We show how colourings of polyhedra provide a ...

Combinatorial Lemmas for Oriented Complexes

A solid combinatorial theory is presented. The generalized Sperner lemma for chains is derived from the combinatorial Stokes formula. Many other generalizations follow from applications of an n-index of a labelling defined on chains with values in primoids. Primoids appear as the most general structure for which Sperner type theorems can be formulated. Their properties and various examples are ...

The discrete yet ubiquitous theorems of Carathéodory, Helly, Sperner, Tucker, and Tverberg

We discuss five discrete results: the lemmas of Sperner and Tucker from combinatorial topology and the theorems of Carathéodory, Helly, and Tverberg from combinatorial geometry. We explore their connections and emphasize their broad impact in application areas such as game theory, graph theory, mathematical optimization, computational geometry, etc.

Combinatorial Theorems on the Simplotope that Generalize Results on the Simplex and Cube

In the context of the theory and computation of fixed points of continuous mappings, researchers have developed combinatorial analogs of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem on the simplex and on the n-cube. Although the simplex and the cube have different combinatorial properties regarding their boundaries, they are both instances of a simplotope, which is the cross-product of simplices. This paper p...

Exchange lemmas 2 : General Exchange Lemma ✩

Exchange lemmas are used in geometric singular perturbation theory to track flows near normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. We prove a General Exchange Lemma, and show that it implies versions of existing exchange lemmas for rectifiable slow flows and loss-of-stability turning points. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
