چکیده

The Centerpoint Theorem states that, for any set S of n points in R, there exists a point p in R such that every closed halfspace containing p contains at least dn/(d+ 1)e points of S. We consider generalizations of the Centerpoint Theorem in which halfspaces are replaced with wedges (cones) of angle α. In R, we give bounds that are tight for all values of α and give an O(n) time algorithm to find a point satisfying these bounds. We also give partial results for R and, more generally, R.

The Centervertex Theorem for Wedge Depth

There are many depth measures on point sets that yield centerpoint theorems. These theorems guarantee the existence of points of a specified depth, a kind of geometric median. However, the deep point guaranteed to exist is not guaranteed to be among the input, and often, it is not. The α-wedge depth of a point with respect to a point set is a natural generalization of halfspace depth that repla...

Tropical convexity over max-min semiring

This is a survey on an analogue of tropical convexity developed over the max-min semiring, starting with the descriptions of max-min segments, semispaces, hyperplanes and an account of separation and non-separation results based on semispaces. There are some new results. In particular, we give new “colorful” extensions of the max-min Carathéodory theorem. In the end of the paper, we list some c...

New Results in Tropical Discrete Geometry

Following the recent work of Develin and Sturmfels and others (see, e.g., [10, 16, 2, 11]), we investigate discrete geometric questions over the tropical semiring (R, min, +). Specifically, we obtain the following tropical analogues of classical theorems in convex geometry: a separation theorem for a pair of disjoint tropical polytopes by tropical halfspaces and tropical versions of Radon’s lem...

Small strong epsilon nets

Let P be a set of n points in R. A point x is said to be a centerpoint of P if x is contained in every convex object that contains more than dn d+1 points of P . We call a point x a strong centerpoint for a family of objects C if x ∈ P is contained in every object C ∈ C that contains more than a constant fraction of points of P . A strong centerpoint does not exist even for halfspaces in R. We ...

Space-Efficient Algorithm for Computing a Centerpoint of a Point Set in R^2

We study space-efficient algorithm for computing a centerpoint for a set P of n points in R, where the points in P are given in a read-only array. We propose an algorithm that finds a centerpoint of P in O(T (n) log n) time using O(S(n)) extra space, where T (n) and S(n) are the time and extra space complexities of computing the median among a set of n elements stored in a read-only array.
