The partition conjecture (Q1574576): Difference between revisions

Tverberg's theorem says that every set of \((m-1)(d+1)+1\) points in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) can be divided into \(m\) subsets whose convex hulls have a common point. The case \(m=2\) is known as Radon's theorem. Generalization to arbitrary convexity spaces leads to the partition conjecture. This paper gives a survey on known results and proves the conjecture for the space of axis-parallel boxes in \(\mathbb{R}^d\).
