Coloring translates and homothets of a convex body
We obtain improved upper bounds and new lower bounds on the chromatic number as a linear function of the clique number, for the intersection graphs (and their complements) of finite families of translates and homothets of a convex body in R.
متن کاملColoring Planar Homothets and Three-Dimensional Hypergraphs
We prove that every finite set of homothetic copies of a given 1 compact and convex body in the plane can be colored with four colors 2 so that any point covered by at least two copies is covered by two copies 3 with distinct colors. This generalizes a previous result from Smorodinsky 4 (SIAM J. Disc. Math. 2007). Then we show that for any k ≥ 2, every 5 three-dimensional hypergraph can be colo...
متن کاملTransversal numbers of translates of a convex body
Let F be a family of translates of a fixed convex set M in Rn. Let (F) and (F) denote the transversal number and the independence number of F, respectively. We show that (F) (F) 8 (F) − 5 for n = 2 and (F) 2n−1nn (F) for n 3. Furthermore, if M is centrally symmetric convex body in the plane, then (F) (F) 6 (F)− 3. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملOn the transversal number and VC-dimension of families of positive homothets of a convex body
Let F be a family of positive homothets (or translates) of a given convex body K in Rn. We investigate two approaches to measuring the complexity of F . First, we find an upper bound on the transversal number τ(F) of F in terms of n and the independence number ν(F). This question is motivated by a problem of Grünbaum [2]. Our bound τ(F) ≤ 2n (2n n ) (n logn+ log logn+ 5n)ν(F) is exponential in ...
متن کاملThe Volume of the Intersection of a Convex Body with its Translates
It is proved that for a symmetric convex body K in R, if for some τ > 0, |K ∩ (x + τK)| depends on ‖x‖K only, then K is an ellipsoid. As a part of the proof, smoothness properties of convolution bodies are studied.
