| Abstract: |
We show that if a line ℓ is an isolated line transversal to a finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of (possibly intersecting) balls in ℝ and no two balls are externally tangent on ℓ, then there is a subfamily $\mathcal{G}\subseteq\mathcal{F}$ of size at most 12 such that ℓ is an isolated line transversal to $\mathcal{G}$. We generalize this result to families of semialgebraic ovaloids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
