    Given a finite family \(\mathcal{F}\) of convex sets in \(\mathbb{R}^d\), the piercing number of \(\mathcal{F}\) is the minimum number \(m\) such that there is a set of \(m\) points that intersects every nonempty set of \(\mathcal{F}\). The authors say that \(\mathcal{F}\) has the \((p,q)_r\) property if, for any \(p\) convex sets in \(\mathcal{F}\), there are at least \(r\) \(q\)-tuples that have nonempty intersection. Then they get some bounds for the piercing number of families of convex sets with the \((p,q)_r\) property.
