with $\operatorname{span} X' = \mathbb{R}^s$, and consider the map

T:IXhH(X)Ph:q(ph(D)q)hH(X),T: I^{X'} \to \prod_{h \in \mathbb{H}(X')} P_h : q \mapsto (p_h(D)q)_{h \in \mathbb{H}(X')},

where $p_h := p_{h, X'} = \langle h^\perp, \cdot \rangle^{(X'\setminus h)}$ are the generators of $I^{X'}$ and $P_h := p_h(D)(I^{X'}\perp)$. Then

dimIXdimIX+hH(X)dimPh,\dim I^{X'} \leq \dim I^{X'} \perp + \sum_{h \in \mathbb{H}(X')} \dim P_h,

since

kerT=(IX)(IX)IX.\ker T = (I^{X'} \perp) \cap (I^{X} \perp) \subseteq I^{X'} \perp.

Consequently, by induction,

dim(IX)b(X)+hH(X)dimPh.\dim(I^{X'} \perp) \leq b(X') + \sum_{h \in \mathbb{H}(X')} \dim P_h.

This proves that

dimIXb(X),\dim I^{X'} \perp \leq b(X),

provided we can prove that

hH(X)dimPh#{BB(X):xB}.\sum_{h \in \mathbb{H}(X')} \dim P_h \leq \#\{B \in \mathcal{B}(X) : x \in B\}.

In particular, it is sufficient to prove that, for all $h \in \mathbb{H}(X')$,

(2.12)PhIXh (2.12) \qquad P_h \subset I^{X_h} \perp

with

Xh:=(Xh)x.X_h := (X \cap h) \cup x.

For, (2.12) implies that

dimPhdimIXhb(Xh),\dim P_h \leq \dim I^{X_h} \perp \leq b(X_h),

(the last inequality by induction), while

hH(X)b(Xh)=#{BB(X):xB}.\sum_{h \in \mathbb{H}(X')} b(X_h) = \#\{B \in \mathcal{B}(X) : x \in B\}.

The claim (2.12) is trivial in case $x \in h$, since then $X'\setminus h = X\setminus h$, and therefore $p_{h,X'} = p_{h,X}$ and so $P_h = {0}$ in that case.

We now prove (2.12) for the contrary case, i.e., the case when $x \notin h$. We have to show that for every $k \in \mathbb{H}(X_h)$

(2.13)pk,Xh(D)Ph={0}, (2.13) \qquad p_{k, X_h}(D)P_h = \{0\},
