Title: Quantitative Helly and Steinitz type theorems
Abstract: According to Helly’s theorem, if the intersection of any d+1 members of a finite family of convex sets in R^d is not empty, then the sets contain a point in common. In a similar vein, a classical result of Steinitz states that if the origin belongs to the interior of the convex hull of a set S in R, then there are 2d points of S whose convex hull contains the origin in the interior. Bárány, Katchalski and Pach considered quantitative versions of both results, that is when ‘not empty’ is replaced by some measure of size, say ‘of volume at least one’, and similarly, ‘a point in the interior’ is replaced by the containment of a ball of certain radius. We will survey some of the recent advances in the area and point to some open problems. A large part of the results is joint work with Grigory Ivanov.
