摘要
We prove two results about the Hadwiger problem of finding the Helly number for line transversals of disjoint unit disks in the plane, and about its higher-dimensional generalization to hyperplane transversals of unit balls in d -dimensional Euclidean space. These consist of (a) a proof of the fact that the Helly number remains 5 even for arbitrarily large sets of disjoint unit disks—thus correcting a 40-year-old error; and (b) a lower bound of d+3 on the Helly number for hyperplane transversals to suitably separated families of unit balls in Rd .
