报告简介：

For each $n$-dimensional real Banach space $X$ and each positive integer $m$, let $\beta(X,m)$ be the infimum of $\delta\in (0, 1]$ such that each set $A\subseteq X$ having diameter $1$ can be represented as the union of $m$ subsets of $A$, whose diameters are not greater than $\delta$. It is useful to provide good estimations of $\beta(X,m)$ for certain choices of $X$ and $m$ for attacking the extension of the classical Borsuk's problem in finite dimensional Banach spaces. A general framework for estimating $\beta(X,m)$ via constructing and refining universal covering systems is presented. As an example a universal covering system is constructed in $\ell^3_1$ and it is shown that $\beta(\ell^3_1,8)\leq 11/12$ by a feasible partitioning of members in this universal covering system.
