Abstract

We show that for any two convex curves C1C_1 and C2C_2 in Rd\mathbb R^d parametrized by [0,1][0,1] with opposite orientations, there exists a hyperplane HH with the following property: For any t[0,1]t\in [0,1] the points C1(t)C_1(t) and C2(t)C_2(t) are never in the same open halfspace bounded by HH. This will be deduced from a more general result on equipartitions of ordered point sets by hyperplanes.
