Nested sequence of sets in Hilbert space
$\{A_n\}$ is a descending sequence of closed convex bounded subsets in Hilbert space. Why can't the intersection be empty?
I'm not sure how to start proving that, I will be glad to get a hint. I think the following theorem might help: In Hilbert space every non empty, closed, convex subset contains a unique element of smallest norm.
