This is likely to be a very basic question for you folks. Carathéodory's theorem gives us an upper bound for the minimum number of convex hull vertices that can be used in a nonzero convex combination to yield an inner point of the convex hull (d+ 1 in $\mathbb{R}^d$). Is there a result which gives a *lower bound* on the *maximum* number of convex hull vertices that can be used in a nonzero convex combination to yield an inner point of the convex hull? (By an inner point I mean one that belongs to the convex hull but does not lie directly on the convex hull.) I am primarily interested in whether any interior point of a convex hull can always be expressed as a nonzero combination of *all* convex hull vertices.
