    Distance k-sectors exist

  • Original language description

    The bisector of two nonempty sets P and Q in a metric space is the set of all points with equal distance to P and to Q. A distance k-sector of P and Q, where k ? 2 is an integer, is a (k-1)-tuple (C1, C2, ..., Ck-1) such that Ci is the bisector of Ci-1 and Ci+1 for every i= 1, 2, ..., k-1, where C0 = P and Ck = Q. This notion, for the case where P and Q are points in Euclidean plane, was introduced by Asano, Matousek, and Tokuyama. They established the existence and uniqueness of the distance trisectorin this special case. We prove the existence of a distance k-sector for all k and for every two disjoint, nonempty, closed sets P and Q in Euclidean spaces of any (finite) dimension, or more generally, in proper geodesic spaces (uniqueness remains open).The core of the proof is a new notion of k-gradation for P and Q, whose existence (even in an arbitrary metric space) is proved using the Knaster-Tarski fixed point theorem, by a method introduced by Reem and Reich for a slightly differe
