Smurov's plank covering conjecture for planar convex bodies
Suppose a collection of planks in the plane has total width , and let be a convex body with perimeter at most .
Smurov's conjecture. The planks can be translated so that their translates cover .
This is the second conjecture attributed to Mikhail Smurov in the source. The paper presents it as open and gives no further partial result for this formulation.
