Abstract:The partition number π(K) of a simplicial complex K ⊆ 2 [n] is the minimum integer k such that for each partition A 1 . .Motivated by the Van Kampen-Flores and Tverberg type results, and inspired by the 'constraint method' [BFZ], we study the combinatorics of r-unavoidable complexes. Emphasizing the interplay of ideas from combinatorial topology, linear programming and fractional graph theory, we explore and compare extremal properties of examples arising in topology (minimal triangulations) and combinatorics… Show more
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.
