Streszczenie
We collect several variants of the proof of the third case of the Bessaga–Klee relative classification of closed convex bodies in topological vector spaces. We were motivated by the fact that we have not found anywhere in the literature a complete correct proof. In particular, we point out an error in the proof given in the book of C. Bessaga and A. Pełczyński (1975). We further provide a simplified version of T. Dobrowolski's proof of the smooth classification of smooth convex bodies in Banach spaces which also works in the topological case.
