A Helly-type theorem on a sphere
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Extract
The purpose of this paper is to prove that if n+3, or more, strongly convex sets on an n dimensional sphere are such that each intersection of n+2 of them is empty, then the intersection of some n+1 of them is empty. (The n dimensional sphere is understood to be the set of points in n+1 dimensional Euclidean space satisfying x21+x22+ …+x2n+1 = 1.)
