What is recorded here?
Proved that any sufficiently large finite point set in Euclidean space can be partitioned into two parts whose convex hulls intersect.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Radon's sole-author 1921 paper and the finite-dimensional theorem stated there. It does not absorb Helly's theorem, Tverberg's generalization, later algorithmic versions or infinite-dimensional analogues.
