KKM lemma


1 Preliminaries

We start by introducing some standard notation. n+1is the (n+1)-dimensional real space with Euclidean normMathworldPlanetmath andmetric. For a subset An+1 we denote bydiam(A) the diameterMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of A.

The n-dimensional simplex 𝒮n is the followingsubset of n+1

{(α1,α2,,αn+1)|i=1n+1αi=1,αi0i=1,,n+1}

More generally, if V={v1,v2,,vk} is a set of vectors,then S(V) is the simplex spanned by V:

S(V)={i=1kαivi,|i=1kαi=1,αi0i=1,,k}

Let ={e1,e1,,en+1} be the standardorthonormal basis of n+1. So, 𝒮n isthe simplex spanned by . Any element v of S(V) isrepresented by a vector of coordinatesMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath(α1,α2,,αk) such that v=iαivi; these are called a barycentric coordinatesMathworldPlanetmath of v. If theset V is in general position then the above representation isunique and we say that V is a basis for S(V). If we writeS(V) then V is always a basis.

Let v be in S(V), V={v1,v2,,vk} a basis and vrepresented (uniquely) by barycentric coordinates(α1,α2,,αk). We denote by FV(v) thesubset {j|αj0} of{1,2,,k} (i.e., the set of non-null coordinates). LetI{1,2,,k}, the I-th face of S(V) is the set{vS(V)|FV(v)I}. A face of S(V) is anI-face for some I (note that this is independent of the choiceof basis).

2 KKM Lemma

The main result we prove is the following:

Theorem 1 (Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz Lemma [1]).

Let Sn be the standard simplex spanned byE the standard orthonormal basis forRn+1. Assume we have n+1 closed subsetsC1,,Cn+1 of Sn with the property that forevery subset I of {1,2,,n+1} the following holds: theI-th face of Sn is a subset of iICi.Then, the intersectionMathworldPlanetmath of the sets C1,C2,,Cn+1 isnon-empty.

We prove the KKM Lemma by using Sperner’s Lemma; Sperner’s Lemmais based on the notion of simplicial subdivision and coloringMathworldPlanetmath.

Definition 2 (Simplicial subdivision of Sn).

A simplicial subdivision of Sn is a coupleD=(V,B); V are the vertices, a finite subset ofSn; B is a set of simplexes S(V1),S(V2),,S(Vk) where each Vi is a subset of V ofsize n+1. D has the following properties:

  1. 1.

    The union of the simplexes in is𝒮n.

  2. 2.

    If S(Vi) and S(Vj) intersect then theintersection is a face of both S(Vi) and S(Vj).

The norm of D, denoted by |D|, is the diameter of thelargest simplex in B.

An (n+1)-coloring of a subdivision D=(V,) of𝒮n is a function

C:V{1,2,,n+1}

A Sperner Coloring of D is an (n+1)-coloring C suchthat C(v)F(v) for every vV, that is, ifv is on the I-th face then its color is from I. For example,if D=(V,) is a subdivision of the standard simplex𝒮n then the standard basis is a subsetof V and F(ei)=i. Hence, If C is a SpernerColoring of D then C(ei)=i for all i=1,2,,n+1.

Theorem 3 (Sperner’s Lemma).

Let D=(V,B) be a simplicial subdivision ofSn and C:V{1,2,,n+1} a Sperner Coloringof D. Then, there is a simplex S(Vi)B such thatC(Vi)={1,2,,n+1}.

It is a standard result, for example by barycentric subdivisions,that 𝒮n has a sequence of simplicial subdivisionsD1,D2, such that |Di|0. We use this fact to provethe KKM Lemma:

Proof of KKM Lemma.

Let C1,C2,,Cn+1 be closed subsets of 𝒮nas given in the lemma. We define the following functionγ:𝒮n{1,2,,n+1} as follows:

γ(v)=min{i|iF(v) and vCi}

γ is well defined by the hypothesisMathworldPlanetmath of the lemma andγ(v)F(v). Also, if γ(v)=i thenvCi. Let D1,D2, be a sequence of simplicialsubdivisions such that |Di|0. We set the color of everyvertex v in Di to be γ(v). This is a Sperner Coloringsince if v is in I-fact then γ(v)F(v)I. Therefore, by Sperner’s Lemma we have in eachsubdivision Di a simplex S(Vi) such thatγ(Vi)={1,2,,n+1}. Moreover, diam(S(Vi))0.By the properties of γ for every i=1,2, and everyj{1,2,,n+1} we have that S(Vi)Cjϕ.Let ui be the arithmetic mean of the elements of Vi (this isan element of S(Vi) and thus an element of 𝒮n).Since 𝒮n is bounded and closed we get that ui hasa converging subsequence with a limit L𝒮n. Now,every set Cj is closed, and for every ϵ>0 we have anelement of Cj of ϵ-distanceMathworldPlanetmath from L; thus L is inCj.

Therefore, L is in the intersection of all the setsC1,C2,,Cn+1, and that proves the assertion.∎
