Abstract

The existence of Macbeath regions is a classical theorem in convex geometry ("A Theorem on non-homogeneous lattices", Annals of Math, 1952). We refer the reader to the survey of I. Barany for several applications. Recently there have been some striking applications of Macbeath regions in discrete and computational geometry. In this paper, we study Macbeath's problem in a more general setting, and not only for the Lebesgue measure as is the case in the classical theorem. We prove near-optimal generalizations for several basic geometric set systems. The problems and techniques used are closely linked to the study of espilon-nets for geometric set systems.
