The study of shape restrictions of subsets of Rd has several applications in many areas, being convexity, r-convexity, and positive reach, some of the most famous, and typically imposed in set estimation. The following problem was attributed to K. Borsuk, by J. Perkal in 1956: find an r-convex set which is not locally contractible. Stated in that way is trivial to find such a set. However, if we ask the set to be equal to the closure of its interior (a condition fulfilled for instance if the set is the support of a probability distribution absolutely continuous with respect to the d-dimensional Lebesgue measure), the problem is much more difficult. We present a counter example of a not locally contractible set, which is r-convex. This also proves that the class of supports with positive reach of absolutely continuous distributions includes strictly the class of r-convex supports of absolutely continuous distributions.
