Positive bases, cones, Helly-type theorems (Q6563211)

The main result reads as follows: Let \(\mathcal C\) be a finite family of convex sets in \({\mathbb R}^d\), \(k\in\{1, ldots, d\}\), and \(m(k, d) = \max\{d + 1, 2(d - k + 1)\}\). If \(\mathcal C\) contains a~\(k\)-dimensional cone for every subfamily \({\mathcal C}^*\) of \(\mathcal C\) of size at most \(m(k, d)\), then so does \(\bigcap {\mathcal C}\). The author also gives a Helly-type theorem, continuing [\textit{M. Katchalski}, Isr. J. Math. 10, 465--470 (1971; Zbl 0226.52002); Can. Math. Bull. 21, 121--123 (1978; Zbl 0373.52007)].
