A famous result about mass partitions is the so called \emph{Ham-Sandwich theorem}. It states that any $d$ mass distributions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. In this work, we study two related…
Equivariant "Ham Sandwich" Theorems are obtained for the finite subgroups G of the unit spheres S(F) in the classical algebras F = R, C, and H. Given any n F-valued mass distributions on F^n, it is shown that there exists a G-equivariant…
A "ham sandwich" theorem is derived for n complex Borel measures on C^n. For each integer m>=2, it shown that there exists a regular m-fan centered about a complex hyperplane, satisfying the condition that for each complex measure, the "Z_m…
\noindent The simultaneous partition problems are classical problems of the combinatorial geometry which have the natural flavor of the equivariant topology. The $k$-fan partition problems have attracted a lot of attention \cite{Aki2000},…
An arrangement of k-semilines in the Euclidean (projective) plane or on the 2-sphere is called a k-fan if all semilines start from the same point. A k-fan is an $\alpha$-partition for a probability measure $\mu$ if $\mu(\sigma_i)=\alpha_i$…
Motivated by an open problem from graph drawing, we study several partitioning problems for line and hyperplane arrangements. We prove a ham-sandwich cut theorem: given two sets of n lines in R^2, there is a line l such that in both line…
In the paper: Fans in the Theory of Real Semigroups. I. Algebraic Theory (submitted) we introduced the notion of fan in the categories of real semigoups and their dual abstract real spectra and developed the algebraic theory of these…
A k-fan is a set of k half-lines (rays) all starting from the same point, called the origin of the fan. We discuss the partition of convex 2D regions into n (a positive integer) equal area convex pieces by fans with the following additional…
We consider a geometric combinatorial problem naturally associated to the geometric topology of certain spherical space forms. Given a collection of $m$ mass distributions on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the existence of $k$ affinely independent regular…
A seminal theorem of Tverberg states that any set of $T(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Almost any collection of fewer points in…
The $t$-fan is the graph on $2t+1$ vertices consisting of $t$ triangles which intersect at exactly one common vertex. For a given graph $F$, the $r$-expansion $F^r$ of $F$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $F$ by adding $r-2$…
We prove a common generalization to several mass partition results using hyperplane arrangements to split $\mathbb{R}^d$ into two sets. Our main result implies the ham-sandwich theorem, the necklace splitting theorem for two thieves, a…
The famous Ham-Sandwich theorem states that any $d$ point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single hyperplane. The $\alpha$-Ham-Sandwich theorem gives a sufficient condition for the existence of biased cuts, i.e.,…
The topological Tverberg theorem has been generalized in several directions by setting extra restrictions on the Tverberg partitions. Restricted Tverberg partitions, defined by the idea that certain points cannot be in the same part, are…
The Ham-Sandwich theorem is a well-known result in geometry. It states that any $d$ mass distributions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a hyperplane. The result is tight, that is, there are examples of $d+1$ mass…
Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…
A fan $F$ is \emph{endpoint-homogeneous} if for any two endpoints $e,e'$ of $F$, there is a homeomorphism $h: F \rightarrow F$ such that $h(e) = e'$. We prove there are uncountably many distinct homeomorphism types of endpoint-homogeneous…
In this paper, we extend the concept of split variational inequality problems from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces. Then we apply the Fan-KKM theorem to prove the existence of solutions to some split variational inequality problems and some…
In this paper, we study the embedding of a complete balanced $d$-partite $d$-uniform hypergraph with all its $nd$ vertices represented as points in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and each hyperedge drawn as a convex hull of $d$…
The classical Ham Sandwich theorem states that any $d$ point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be simultaneously bisected by a single affine hyperplane. A generalization of Dolnikov asserts that any $d$ families of pairwise intersecting compact,…
