Abstract

In our recent paper [1] we prove a fractional Helly type theorem for boxes in Rd. This short note is to acknowledge priority: in 1980 Meir Katchalski [4] proved exactly the same result and in 1988 Jürgen Eckhoff [2] proved the same result in much more generality. In fact, Eckhoff established an upper bound theorem for the f -vectors of finite families of boxes in Rd from which his result is derived. Besides apologies for our ignorance we would like to mention that Eckhoff extended his results further in a more recent paper [3].
