Abstract

Borsuk-Ulam's theorem is a useful tool of algebraic topology. It states that for any continuous mapping ff from the nn-sphere to the nn-dimensional Euclidean space, there exists a pair of antipodal points such that f(x)=f(x)f(x)=f(-x). As for its applications, ham-sandwich theorem, necklace theorem and coloring of Kneser graph by Lov\'{a}sz are well-known. This paper attempts to apply Borsuk-Ulam's theorem to nonlinear programming.
