We prove discrete Helly-type theorems for pseudohalfplanes, which extend recent results of Jensen, Joshi and Ray about halfplanes. Among others we show that given a family of pseudohalfplanes $\cal H$ and a set of points $P$, if every…

We initiate the study of convex geometry over ordered hyperfields. We define convex sets and halfspaces over ordered hyperfields, presenting structure theorems over hyperfields arising as quotients of fields. We prove hyperfield analogues…

In this paper, we explore affine semigroup versions of the convex geometry theorems of Helly, Tverberg, and Caratheodory. Additionally, we develop a new theory of colored affine semigroups, where the semigroup generators each receive a…

We report on some recent progress regarding combinatorial properties in convexity spaces with a bounded Radon number. In particular, we discuss the relationship between the Radon number, the colorful and fractional Helly properties, weak…

We consider sets and maps defined over an o-minimal structure over the reals, such as real semi-algebraic or subanalytic sets. A {\em monotone map} is a multi-dimensional generalization of a usual univariate monotone function, while the…

This is a survey on an analogue of tropical convexity developed over the max-min semiring, starting with the descriptions of max-min segments, semispaces, hyperplanes and an account of separation and non-separation results based on…

We present a concise proof for the supporting hyperplane theorem. We then observe that the proof not only establishes the supporting hyperplane theorem but also extends it to a hyperplane separation theorem for certain non-convex sets. The…

Carath\'eodory's, Helly's and Radon's theorems are three basic results in discrete geometry. Their max-plus counterparts have been proved by various authors. In this paper, more advanced results in discrete geometry are shown to have also…

In this article we discuss classical theorems from Convex Geometry in the context of topological drawings and beyond. In a simple topological drawing of the complete graph $K_n$, any two edges share at most one point: either a common vertex…

A separated $d$-interval is defined as a disjoint union of $d$ convex sets from the real line $\mathbb R$. In this paper, we establish a series of Helly-type theorems for convexity spaces derived from separated $d$-intervals. Our results…

The colorful Helly theorem and Tverberg's theorem are fundamental results in discrete geometry. We prove a theorem which interpolates between the two. In particular, we show the following for any integers $d \geq m \geq 1$ and $k$ a prime…

In this paper, we deal with analytic and geometric properties of orthogonally convex sets. We establish a Blaschke-type theorem for path-connected and orthogonally convex sets in the plane using orthogonally convex paths. The separation of…

The goal of this paper is to give a new, abstract approach to cover-decomposition and polychromatic colorings using hypergraphs on ordered vertex sets. We introduce an abstract version of a framework by Smorodinsky and Yuditsky, used for…

The task of this survey is to present various results on intersection patterns of convex sets. One of main tools for studying intersection patterns is a point of view via simplicial complexes. We recall the definitions of so called…
