Abstract: | Summary.
We establish the following Helly-type result for infinite families
of starshaped sets in
Define the function f on
{1, 2} by
f(1) = 4,
f(2) = 3.
Let
be a fixed positive number, and let
be a uniformly bounded family of compact sets
in the plane. For k = 1, 2, if every
f(k)
(not necessarily distinct) members of
intersect in a starshaped set whose
kernel contains a k-dimensional
neighborhood of radius
, then
is a starshaped set whose kernel is at least
k-dimensional.
The number f(k) is best in each case.
In addition, we present a few results concerning the dimension of
the kernel in an intersection of starshaped sets in
Some of these involve finite families of sets, while others
involve infinite families and make use of the Hausdorff metric. |
