چکیده

In this paper, we prove the problem of stabbing a set of disjoint bends by a convex stabber to be NP-hard. We also consider the optimization version of the convex stabber problem and prove this problem to be APX-hard for sets of line segments.

The Intersection of Convex Transversals is a Convex Polytope

It is proven that the intersection of convex transversals of finitely many sets in R is a convex polytope, possibly empty. Related results on support hyperplanes and complements of finite unions of convex sets are given. MSC 2000: 52A20

On the Connected Components of the Space of Line Transersals t a Family of Convex Sets

Let L be the space of line transversals to a nite family of pairwise disjoint compact convex sets in R 3. We prove that each connected component of L can itself be represented as the space of transversals to some nite family of pairwise disjoint compact convex sets.

A Helly-type theorem for higher-dimensional transversals

We generalize the Hadwiger(-Danzer-Grünbaum-Klee) theorem on line transversals for an unbounded family of compact convex sets to the case of transversal planes of arbitrary dimension. This is the first Helly-type theorem known for transversals of dimension between 1 and d− 1.

4 Helly-type Theorems and Geometric Transversals

INTRODUCTION Let F be a family of convex sets in R. A geometric transversal is an affine subspace that intersects every member of F . More specifically, for a given integer 0 ≤ k < d, a k-dimensional affine subspace that intersects every member of F is called a ktransversal to F . Typically, we are interested in necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of a k-transversal...

The Hadwiger transversal theorem for pseudolines

We generalize the Hadwiger theorem on line transversals to collections of compact convex sets in the plane to the case where the sets are connected and the transversals form an arrangement of pseudolines. The proof uses the embeddability of pseudoline arrangements in topological affine planes. In 1940 Santaló showed [8], by an example, that Vincensini’s proof [9] of an extension of Helly’s theo...
