Linear bound for the invariant-subspace Helly number
Linear bound for the invariant-subspace Helly number
Let be a finite family of linear operators , where is an arbitrary field and . Define to be the minimal integer such that if any or fewer elements of have a common non-trivial invariant subspace, then all operators in have a common non-trivial invariant subspace. Linear invariant-subspace Helly conjecture.
The preceding discussion gives the bound , and the conjecture predicts a linear improvement in the dimension. The source does not provide a proof or a sharper asymptotic bound.
