Strong General Position

We say that a finite set S of points in R^d is in “strong general position” if for any collection {F_1,…, F_r} of r pairwise disjoint subsets of S (1 <= r <= |S|) we have: d-dim (the intersection of aff F_1,aff F_2,…,aff F_r) = min{d+1, (d-dim aff F_1)+(d-dim aff F_2)+…+(d-dim aff F_r)}. In this paper we reduce the set of conditions that one has to check in order to determine if S is in “strong general position”.
