Abstract
In this paper, we study the number of compact sets needed in an infinite family of convex sets with a local intersection structure to imply a bound on its piercing number, answering a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Gr\"unbaum. Namely, if in an infinite family of convex sets in we know that out of every there are which are intersecting, we determine if having some compact sets implies a bound on the number of points needed to intersect the whole family. We also study variations of this problem.
