Nearly neighbourly families of standard boxes

Combinatorics 2016-07-28 v1

Abstract

It is demonstrated that each nearly neighbourly family of standard boxes in R3\mathbb{R}^3 has at most 12 elements. A combinatorial classification of all such families that have exactly 12 elements is given. All families satisfying an extra property called incompressibility are described. Compressible families are discussed briefly.
