Combinatorial Proofs of Generalizations of Sperner's Lemma

Peterson, Elisha 01 May 2000 (has links)
In this thesis, we provide constructive proofs of serveral generalizations of Sperner's Lemma, a combinatorial result which is equivalent to the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem. This lemma makes a statement about the number of a certain type of simplices in the triangulation of a simplex with a special labeling. We prove generalizations for polytopes with simplicial facets, for arbitrary 3-polytopes, and for polygons. We introduce a labeled graph which we call a nerve graph to prove these results. We also suggest a possible non-constructive proof for a polytopal generalization.
