Title
Piercing convex sets
Abstract
A family of sets has the (p;q) property if among any p members of the family some q have a nonempty intersection. It is shown that for every p q d + 1 there is a c = c(p;q;d) <1 such that for every familyF of compact, convex sets in Rd which has the (p;q) property there is a set of at most c points in Rd that intersects each member ofF. This extends Helly's Theorem
