An intersection property for starshaped sets in the plane (Q2640142): Difference between revisions

Let \({\mathcal F}\) be a family of compact starshaped sets in the plane. If every three and every two members of \({\mathcal F}\) have a connected, simply connected union, then \(\cap \{F:\) F in \({\mathcal F}\}\) is simply connected and nonempty. Also, if every three and every two members of \({\mathcal F}\) have a starshaped union, then every finite subfamily of \({\mathcal F}\) has a starshaped union and \(\cap \{F:\) F in \({\mathcal F}\}\neq \emptyset\).
