two-dimensional sections of polyhedral cones

Given a polyhedral cone, its intersection with any two-dimensional plane is either a polygon or a region enclosed by a polygonal curve. Is it a characterization of polyhedral cones? Does there exists a convex cone, which is not polyhedral, but such that all its two-dimensional sections are regions enclosed by polygonal curves?

• In what space is your cone? – Alexandre Eremenko Feb 13 '15 at 21:06
• Presumably your definition of a polyhedral cone is the convex hull of a finite set of halflines (as opposed to an infinite set). Then I think that all the 2-dim intersections with parallel planes (say, orthogonal to the halflines median) determine the cone. – Joseph O'Rourke Feb 14 '15 at 0:35
• Convex cones are subsets of euclidean space that are closed under positive linear combinations, polyhedral cones are intersections of a finite number of halfspaces. Intuition says that given a set included in the n-dimensional euclidean space, if its intersection with any two-dimensional plane is enclosed by a polygonal curve, then the set is a polyhedral cone. It is true if n=3, but, strange things could happens at higher dimensions – ANDRES Feb 14 '15 at 1:20

I haven't read the whole paper, but Klee proved that if all $j$-dimensional sections of an $n$-dimensional convex region are polyhedral for $2\le j \le n-1$, then the region is polyhedral. His definition for polyhedral includes polyhedral cones and other unbounded polyhedra. For $j=2$ and a closed convex cone, Klee cites Mirkil for a slightly earlier proof.
