We present a motivated exposition of the proof of the following Tverberg Theorem: For every integers d, r any (d + 1)(r − 1) + 1 points in R d can be decomposed into r groups such that all the r convex hulls of the groups have a common point. The proof is by wellknown reduction to the Bárány Theorem. However, our exposition is easier to grasp because additional constructions (of an embedding R d ⊂ R d+1 , of vectors ϕ j,i and statement of the Barańy Theorem) are not introduced in advance in a non-motivated way, but naturally appear in an attempt to construct the required decomposition. This attempt is based on rewriting several equalities between vectors as one equality between vectors of higher dimension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
