The Euclidean Steinitz–Bergström theorem

OpenAI

Abstract

Every prescribed-order finite sequence of vectors in the Euclidean unit ball of ℝ has one signing for which every signed prefix has norm at most , with C absolute and independent of the sequence length. Consequently, every indexed zero-sum family of unit-ball vectors admits an ordering with the same bound for its unsigned partial sums. This determines the Euclidean Steinitz constant up to absolute factors, , and resolves the Euclidean Steinitz–Bergström conjecture.
