Abstract: Let K and L be compact convex sets in R^n. The following two statements are shown to be equivalent: (i) For every polytope Q inside K having at most n+1 vertices, L contains a translate of Q. (ii) L contains a translate of K. Let 1 <= d <= n-1. It is also shown that the following two statements are equivalent: (i) For every polytope Q inside K having at most d+1 vertices, L contains a translate of Q. (ii) For every d-dimensional subspace W, the orthogonal projection of the set L onto W contains a translate of the corresponding projection of the set K onto W. It is then shown that, if K is a compact convex set in R^n having at least d+2 exposed points, then there exists a compact convex set L such that every d-dimensional orthogonal projection of L contains a translate of the corresponding projection of K, while L does not contain a translate of K. In particular, such a convex body L exists whenever dim(K) > d.
