Jun 3, 2014 at 11:46 comment added mathcounterexamples.net Hi Ben, yes I mean the one marked $(\ast)$. Take a space with dimension $n=3$ and $(e_1,e_2,e_3)$ a basis. $F_1=\mbox{span}\{e_1\}$, $F_2=\mbox{span}\{e_1,e_2\}$, $F^\prime_2=\mbox{span}\{e_1,e_3\}$, $F_3=\mbox{span}\{e_1,e_2,e_3\}$ and finally $G_j=\mbox{span}\{e_1,e_2+e_3\}$ with $k=2$. In fact, based on the aother elements of your elements of your proof, I can finalize without using (*). Enjoy your stay in France!

Jun 3, 2014 at 8:53 comment added Ben Webster @Jean-PierreMerx You mean the one now marked $(*)$? I'd like to see your counterexample. Of course, it's only true if $F_k \neq F_k'$. That's an important and necessary hypothesis.

Jun 1, 2014 at 9:35 comment added mathcounterexamples.net Ben, in fact there is a step in your proof with which I'm having difficulties. It is with your first equality with dimensions which is not always true. Am I missing something?
