Abstract
Given a hypergraph H and a subset S of its vertices, the trace of H on S is defined as H|S = {E ∩ S: E ∈ H}. The Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension (VC-dimension) of H is the size of the largest subset S for which H|S has 2 |S| edges. Hypergraphs of small VC-dimension play a central role in many areas of statistics, discrete and computational geometry, and learning theory. We survey some of the most important results related to this concept with special emphasis on (a) hypergraph theoretic methods and (b) geometric applications.
