On starshaped sets and Helly-type theorems

John David Baildon and Ruth Silverman

Vol. 62 (1976), No. 1, 37–41
Abstract

Suppose an ordered pair of sets (S,K) in a linear topological space is of Helly type (n + 1,n), i.e., for every n + 1 distinct points in S there is a point in K which sees at least n of them via S. Then if S is closed, K compact, and n 3, the nontrivial visibility sets in K are pairwise nondisjoint. Sufficient conditions are obtained for S to be starshaped.
