Abstract: A problem of finding a system of proportionally located parallel supporting hyperplanes of a family of connected compact sets is analyzed. A special attention is paid to finding a common supporting halfspace. An existence theorem is proved and a method of solution is proposed.

Keywords: set family, supporting hyperplane, lexicographic optimization, polyhedral approximation.
