Brouwer fixed-point theorem
Brouwer's fixed-point theorem is a fixed-point theorem in topology, named after L. E. J. (Bertus) Brouwer. It states that for any continuous function mapping a compact convex set to itself there is a
Minkowski addition
In geometry, the Minkowski sum (also known as dilation) of two sets of position vectors A and B in Euclidean space is formed by adding each vector in A to each vector in B, i.e., the set Analogously,
Hyperplane separation theorem
In geometry, the hyperplane separation theorem is a theorem about disjoint convex sets in n-dimensional Euclidean space. There are several rather similar versions. In one version of the theorem, if bo
Kakutani's theorem (geometry)
Kakutani's theorem is a result in geometry named after Shizuo Kakutani. It states that every convex body in 3-dimensional space has a circumscribed cube, i.e. a cube all of whose faces touch the body.
Kakutani fixed-point theorem
In mathematical analysis, the Kakutani fixed-point theorem is a fixed-point theorem for set-valued functions. It provides sufficient conditions for a set-valued function defined on a convex, compact s
Kirchberger's theorem
Kirchberger's theorem is a theorem in discrete geometry, on linear separability. The two-dimensional version of the theorem states that, if a finite set of red and blue points in the Euclidean plane h
Krein–Milman theorem
In the mathematical theory of functional analysis, the Krein–Milman theorem is a proposition about compact convex sets in locally convex topological vector spaces (TVSs). Krein–Milman theorem — A comp
Tverberg's theorem
In discrete geometry, Tverberg's theorem, first stated by Helge Tverberg, is the result that sufficiently many points in d-dimensional Euclidean space can be partitioned into subsets with intersecting
Carathéodory's theorem (convex hull)
Carathéodory's theorem is a theorem in convex geometry. It states that if a point x of Rd lies in the convex hull of a set P, then x can be written as the convex combination of at most d + 1 points in
Helly's theorem
Helly's theorem is a basic result in discrete geometry on the intersection of convex sets. It was discovered by Eduard Helly in 1913, but not published by him until 1923, by which time alternative pro
Gordan's lemma
Gordan's lemma is a lemma in convex geometry and algebraic geometry. It can be stated in several ways.
* Let be a matrix of integers. Let be the set of non-negative integer solutions of . Then there
Hadwiger's theorem
In integral geometry (otherwise called geometric probability theory), Hadwiger's theorem characterises the valuations on convex bodies in It was proved by Hugo Hadwiger.
Radon's theorem
In geometry, Radon's theorem on convex sets, published by Johann Radon in 1921, states that any set of d + 2 points in Rd can be partitioned into two sets whose convex hulls intersect. A point in the
Brunn–Minkowski theorem
In mathematics, the Brunn–Minkowski theorem (or Brunn–Minkowski inequality) is an inequality relating the volumes (or more generally Lebesgue measures) of compact subsets of Euclidean space. The origi

The M. Riesz extension theorem is a theorem in mathematics, proved by Marcel Riesz during his study of the problem of moments.
Busemann's theorem
In mathematics, Busemann's theorem is a theorem in Euclidean geometry and geometric tomography. It was first proved by Herbert Busemann in 1949 and was motivated by his theory of area in Finsler space
Alexandrov's uniqueness theorem
The Alexandrov uniqueness theorem is a rigidity theorem in mathematics, describing three-dimensional convex polyhedra in terms of the distances between points on their surfaces. It implies that convex
Cauchy's theorem (geometry)
Cauchy's theorem is a theorem in geometry, named after Augustin Cauchy. It states that convex polytopes in three dimensions with congruent corresponding faces must be congruent to each other. That is,
