Intersecting diametral balls induced by a geometric graph
Abstract
For a graph whose vertex set is a finite set of points in the Euclidean -space consider the closed (open) balls with diameters induced by its edges. The graph is called a (an open) Tverberg graph if these closed (open) balls intersect. Using the idea of halving lines, we show that () for any finite set of points in the plane, there exists a Hamiltonian cycle that is a Tverberg graph; () for any red and blue points in the plane, there exists a perfect red-blue matching that is a Tverberg graph. Also, we prove that () for any even set of points in the Euclidean -space, there exists a perfect matching that is an open Tverberg graph; () for any red and blue points in the Euclidean -space, there exists a perfect red-blue matching that is a Tverberg graph.
