Convex polygons and separation of convex sets

Abstract

We prove that for any collection F of n 2 pairwise disjoint compact convex sets in the plane there is a pair of sets A and B in F such that any line that separates A from B separates either A or B from a subcollection of F with at least n/18 sets.
