Abstract

Let U1,…,Ud+1 be n-element sets in Rd . Pach’s selection theorem says that there exist subsets Z1⊂U1,…,Zd+1⊂Ud+1 and a point u∈Rd such that each |Zi|≥c1(d)n and u∈conv{z1,…,zd+1} for every choice of z1∈Z1,…,zd+1∈Zd+1 . Here we show that this theorem does not admit a topological extension with linear size sets Zi . However, there is a topological extension where each |Zi| is of order (logn)1/d .
