A finite family of pseudodiscs must include a "small" pseudodisc

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that there is an absolute constant c ≤ 156 such that in every finite family F of pseudodiscs in the plane one can find a member D ε F such that among all of the pseudodiscs in F intersecting D there are at most c pairwise disjoint sets.
