If K is a collection of convex, compact subsets of Rn of which
each ( + 1)

member subcollection has a nonempty intersection, then K is also nonempty.

Beckenbach families
Denition
A set F of real valued continuous functions dened on an interval I is called a
Beckenbach family if, for all points (x , y ) and (x , y ) of I × R with x 6= x ,
there exists exactly one member ϕ of F such that ϕ(x ) = y and ϕ(x ) = y .
A function f : I → R is called an F-convex function if for all x < x elements
of I and x ∈ [x , x ], we have the inequality f (x ) ≤ ϕ(x ) where ϕ ∈ F satises
ϕ(x ) = f (x ) and ϕ(x ) = f (x ).

Lemma
If a sequence of a Beckenbach family converges in two points, then it converges
uniformly on each compact subset of the domain.

K ⊂ Φ(H ). The last statement of the previous theorem is an immediate
consequence of this lemma with Φ := conv , and using property (iii ).
Let K :=
⊂ | ⊂ , = Φ( ) . If ∈ K, then ⊂ holds;
T hence,
by the monotonicity, Φ( ) ⊂ Φ( ) = follows. That is, Φ( ) ⊂ K. For
the converse inclusion, take ∈ . Then the xed point property guarantees
