Holt-Klee condition on SEB cubes

The smallest enclosing ball problem (for short, the SEB problem) is known as one of classical problems of computational geometry. Given a set of n points in a d dimensional space, this problem is to find the d dimensional ball with the smallest radius which encloses all the n points of P. Szabo and Welzl in 2001 showed that if all the n points are affinely independent, the SEB problem is formulated as finding a unique sink on a unique sink orientation on an n-dimensional cube, called an SEB cube. There is another combinatorial condition defined on a unique sink orientation, Holt-Klee condition proposed by Holt and Klee in 1999. The Holt-Klee condition represents a directed version of the n-connectivity property of a unique sink orientation. In this talk, we prove that every SEB cube satisfies the Holt-Klee condition.
