Combined with a recent result of Holmsen and Lee, it gives fractional Helly theorem, and consequently the existence of weak ε-nets as well as a (p,q)-theorem. More precisely: Let X be either ℝ^d, smooth real d-manifold, or a finite d-dimensional simplicial complex. Then if F is a finite, intersection-closed family of sets in X such that the ith reduced Betti number (with ℤ₂ coefficients) of any set in F is at most b for every non-negative integer i less or equal to k, then the Radon number of F is bounded in terms of b and X. Here k is the smallest integer larger or equal to d/2 - 1 if X = ℝ^d; k=d-1 if X is a smooth real d-manifold and not a surface, k=0 if X is a surface and k=d if X is a d-dimensional simplicial complex. Using the recent result of the author and Kalai, we manage to prove the following optimal bound on fractional Helly number for families of open sets in a surface: Let F be a finite family of open sets in a surface S such that the intersection of any subfamily of F is either empty, or path-connected. Then the fractional Helly number of F is at most three. This also settles a conjecture of Holmsen, Kim, and Lee about an existence of a (p,q)-theorem for open subsets of a surface.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"       164","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783959771436"],"issn":["18688969"]},"date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:16:22Z","day":"01","year":"2020","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.SoCG.2020.61","publication":"36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry","conference":{"end_date":"2020-06-26","name":"SoCG: Symposium on Computational Geometry","location":"Zürich, Switzerland","start_date":"2020-06-22"},"date_created":"2020-06-22T09:14:18Z","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:48:06Z","scopus_import":"1","title":"Bounding radon number via Betti numbers","date_published":"2020-06-01T00:00:00Z","author":[{"first_name":"Zuzana","last_name":"Patakova","id":"48B57058-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-3975-1683","full_name":"Patakova, Zuzana"}],"month":"06","citation":{"short":"Z.
