This paper presents a new variation of Tverberg's theorem. Given a discrete set S of R d , we study the number of points of S needed to guarantee the existence of an m-partition of the points such that the intersection of the m convex hulls of the parts contains at least k points of S. The proofs of the main results require new quantitative versions of Helly's and Carathéodory's theorems.
We prove variations of Carathéodory's, Helly's and Tverberg's theorems where the sets involved are measured according to continuous functions such as the volume or diameter. Among our results, we present continuous quantitative versions of Lovász's colorful Helly theorem, Bárány's colorful Carathéodory's theorem, and the colorful Tverberg theorem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
