Quantitative Steinitz theorem: A spherical version

Metric Geometry 2023-12-01 v3

Abstract

Steinitz's theorem states that if the origin belongs to the interior of the convex hull of a set QRdQ \subset \mathbb{R}^d, then there are at most 2d2d points QQ^\prime of QQ whose convex hull contains the origin in the interior. B\'ar\'any, Katchalski and Pach gave a quantitative version whereby the radius of the ball contained in the convex hull of QQ^\prime is bounded from below. In the present note, we show that a Euclidean result of this kind implies a corresponding spherical version.
