Extract
In 1933 Borsuk(2) made the following conjecture: Every bounded set of points in Euclidean n-space En can be represented as the union of n + 1 sets of smaller diameter. He proved it for n = 2. Hadwiger (5) proved Borsuk's conjecture assuming the additional condition that the surface of the set is sufficiently smooth. On the other hand, up to now the conjecture has been proved for n ≤ 3 only (3, 4).
