Abstract

Some criterias for the non-minimality of pairs of compact convex sets of a real locally convex topological vector space are proved, based on a reduction technique via cutting planes and excision of compact convex subsets. Following an example of J. Grzybowski, we construct a class of equivalent minimal pairs of compact convex sets which are not connected by translations.
