Apr 15, 2021 at 9:29 comment added Turbo This is impossible if the convex combination is a linear combination of two or more vertices as $x_{1,1},\dots,x_{2,m_2},z$ is a vertex point. Hence there is a $z_1$ satisfying the property $(x_1,z_1)=(x_{1,1},\dots,x_{1,m_1},z_1)$ is a vertex of the first polyhedron. How about $(x_2,z_2)$ and $(x_1,z_1)$ are not vertices in their respective polyhedron? I think $v_1v_2$ holds and I do think above strategy works but not entirely positive.
Apr 15, 2021 at 9:29 comment added Turbo Pick one (say $(x_1,z_1')$) without loss of generality and again by Caratheodory's theorem $(x_1,z_1')$ is a convex combination of $m_1+1$ vertex points on the face containing $(x_1,z_1')$ after projecting the vertices to $z_1'$ in the last coordinate. Now project out the last coordinate and lift to dimension $m_1+m_2+1$ by adding $(x_2,z)$ in the end. This implies $x_{1,1},\dots,x_{2,m_2},z$ is the convex combination of the same $m_1+1$ projected (to $z_1'$) vertex points after lifting to $m_1+m_2+1$ dimensions by adding $(x_2,z)$ in the end.
Apr 15, 2021 at 9:28 comment added Turbo On vertices following is my thought suppose $x_{1,1},\dots,x_{2,m_2},z$ is a vertex of third polyhedron and $(x_2,z_2)=(x_{2,1},\dots,x_{2,m_2},z_2)$ is a vertex of second polyhedron at some $z_2$ and $(x_1,z_1)=(x_{1,1},\dots,x_{1,m_1},z_1)$ is not a vertex of first polyhedron at any z_1. Now $(x_1,z_1)$ is a convex combination of $m_1+2$ vertex points in first polyhedron by Caratheodory's theorem and by convexity there are two $z_1'$ and $z_1''$ at which $(x_1,z_1')$ and $(x_1,z_1'')$ is on the $m_1$ dimensional face of the first polyhedron.
