A family of convex sets in the plane satisfying the (4,3)-property can be pierced by nine points

Abstract

We prove that every finite family of convex sets in the plane satisfying the (4,3)-property can be pierced by 9 points. This improves the bound of 13 proved by Gy\'arf\'as, Kleitman, and T\'oth in 2001.
