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

چکیده
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.

Carathéodory, Helly and the Others in the Max-Plus World
Carathéodory’s, Helly’s and Radon’s theorems are three basic results in discrete geometry. Their max-plus counterparts have been proved by various authors. In this paper, more advanced results in discrete geometry are shown to have also their max-plus counterparts: namely, the colorful Carathéodory theorem and the Tverberg theorem. A conjecture connected to the Tverberg theorem – Sierksma’s con...
متن کاملTropical 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...
متن کاملNew 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...
متن کاملCarathéodory-type Theorems à la Bárány
We generalise the famous Helly-Lovász theorem leading to a generalisation of the BárányCarathéodory theorem for oriented matroids in dimension ≤ 3. We also provide a non-metric proof of the later colourful theorem for arbitrary dimensions and explore some generalisations in dimension 2.
متن کاملTransversal, Helly and Tverberg type Theorems in Geometry, Combinatorics and Topology III
Helly’s Theorem and its relatives, the theorems of Radon and Caratheodory have played an important role in Discrete and Convex Geometry, there are numerous generalizations and variations of them that have been studied from different perspectives and points of view. The classical lemma of Radon for instance states that any d + 2 points in R can be partitioned into two classes with intersecting c...
