Abstract

Consider a convex polytope X and a family of convex sets, satisfying a given property P. Moreover, assume that is closed under operations of cutting and convex pasting along hyperplanes. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given to have . As a consequence, it follows that, if all simplices or small enough simplices have the property in question, then X also has that property.
