We study versions of Helly's theorem that guarantee that the intersection of a family of convex sets in $R^d$ has a large diameter. This includes colourful, fractional and $(p,q)$ versions of Helly's theorem. In particular, the fractional…

Assume that $k \le d$ is a positive integer and $\C$ is a finite collection of convex bodies in $\R^d$. We prove a Helly type theorem: If for every subfamily $\C^*\subset \C$ of size at most $\max \{d+1,2(d-k+1)\}$ the set $\bigcap \C^*$…

The method of Hol\'y, Sokol and \v{C}ern\'y (Applied Soft Computing, 2017, Vol. 60, p. 752-762) clusters objects based on their incidence in a large number of given sets. The idea is to minimize the occurrence of multiple objects from the…

A Helly-type theorem for diameter provides a bound on the diameter of the intersection of a finite family of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ given some information on the diameter of the intersection of all sufficiently small subfamilies. We…

Let $K$ be the scalar field of real numbers or complex numbers and $L^{0}(\mathcal{F},K)$ the algebra of equivalence classes of $K-$valued random variables defined on a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$. In this paper, we first…

We obtain three Helly-type results. First, we establish a Quantitative Colorful Helly-type theorem with the optimal Helly number \(2d\) concerning the diameter of the intersection of a family of convex bodies. Second, we prove a…

The main results here are two Helly type theorems for the sum of (at most) unit vectors in a normed plane. Also, we give a new characterization of centrally symmetric convex sets in the plane.

We introduce a new variant of quantitative Helly-type theorems: the minimal \emph{"homothetic distance"} of the intersection of a family of convex sets to the intersection of a subfamily of a fixed size. As an application, we establish the…

In this short note we show that Helly's Intersection Theorem holds for convex sets in uniquely geodesic spaces (in particular in CAT(0) spaces) without the assumption that the convex sets are open or closed.

We present a unified approach to prove Helly-type theorems for monotone properties of boxes, such as having large volume or containing points from a given set. As a corollary, we obtain new proofs for several earlier results regarding…

Qualitatively, a no-dimensional Helly-type theorem says that if every small subfamily of convex sets has a common point in a bounded region, then suitable neighborhoods of all the sets in the whole family have a common point. Quantitative…

In high-dimension, low-sample size (HDLSS) data, it is not always true that closeness of two objects reflects a hidden cluster structure. We point out the important fact that it is not the closeness, but the "values" of distance that…

We study $S$-convex sets, which are the geometric objects obtained as the intersection of the usual convex sets in $\mathbb R^d$ with a proper subset $S\subset \mathbb R^d$. We contribute new results about their $S$-Helly numbers. We extend…

We study supervised learning problems using clustering constraints to impose structure on either features or samples, seeking to help both prediction and interpretation. The problem of clustering features arises naturally in text…

Clustering is one of the most fundamental problems in data analysis and it has been studied extensively in the literature. Though many clustering algorithms have been proposed, clustering theories that justify the use of these clustering…

Given query access to a set of constraints $S$, we wish to quickly check if some objective function $\varphi$ subject to these constraints is at most a given value $k$. We approach this problem using the framework of property testing where…

A finite family $\mathcal F$ of convex sets is $k$-intersecting in $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ if the intersection of every subset of $k$ convex sets in $\mathcal F$ contains a point in $S$. The Helly number of $S$ is the minimum $k$, if it…

We provide a new quantitative version of Helly's theorem: there exists an absolute constant $\alpha >1$ with the following property: if $\{P_i: i\in I\}$ is a finite family of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with ${\rm int}\left…

In this paper we study generalizations of classical results on intersection patterns of set systems in $\mathbb{R}^d$, such as the fractional Helly theorem or the $(p,q)$-theorem, in the setting of arbitrary triangulable spaces with a…

A set of vectors $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ is $(k_1,\varepsilon)$-clusterable if there are $k_1$ balls of radius $\varepsilon$ that cover $S$. A set of vectors $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ is $(k_2,\delta)$-far from being clusterable if…
