Title
On piercing numbers of families satisfying the (p, q)r property.
Abstract
The Hadwiger–Debrunner number HDd(p,q) is the minimal size of a piercing set that can always be guaranteed for a family of compact convex sets in Rd that satisfies the (p,q) property. Hadwiger and Debrunner showed that HDd(p,q)≥p−q+1 for all q, and equality is attained for q>d−1dp+1. Almost tight upper bounds for HDd(p,q) for a ‘sufficiently large’ q were obtained recently using an enhancement of the celebrated Alon–Kleitman theorem, but no sharp upper bounds for a general q are known.
