Are there arbitrarily large point sets for which the convex hull of any 5 points is a tetrahedron? <BR/><BR/><BR/>No. Let S be any d+3 points in general position from R^d. Then there exists a subset S' of S of cardinality d+2 such that the convex hull of S' contains no point of S' in its interior. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>Posted by<A><B> </B></A>AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-1127151611313289912005-09-19T11:40:00.000-06:002005-09-19T11:40:00.000-06:00That's very nice.
