    0 references
    According to a result of \textit{J. E. Goodman} and \textit{R. Pollack} [Congr. Numerantium 32, 383--394 (1981; Zbl 0495.05012)] for every integer \(n\geq 3\) there exists a smallest positive integer \(g(n)\) such that any generalized configuration of size \(g(n)\), in which every triple is convexly independent, contains a convexly independent subset of size \(n\). According to a result of \textit{J. Pach} and \textit{G. Tóth} [Geom. Dedicata 81, No. 1--3, 1--12 (2000; Zbl 0959.52002)] for every integer \(n\geq 3\) there exists a smallest positive integer \(h_1(n)\) such that for every family of \(h_1(n) \) non-crossing bodies in the Euclidean plane, in which every triple is convexly independent, contains a convexly independent subfamily of size \(n\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE The paper under review shows that \(g(n)=h_1(n)\).
