Title
Appollonius Revisited: Supporting Spheres for Sundered Systems.
Abstract
.    When C is a ball in and S is the sphere , we say that S supports a convex body B if S intersects B and either (then S is a far support) or the interior of C is disjoint from B (then S is a near support). The focus here is on common supports for a system of d+1 bodies in such that for each way of selecting a point from each member of , the selected points are affinely independent and hence form the vertex-set of a d-simplex. The main result asserts that if is an arbitrary partition of , then there exists a unique Euclidean sphere that is simultaneously a near support for each member of and a far support for each member of .
