Makeev's universal covering conjecture for convex bodies
Makeev's universal covering conjecture for convex bodies
Let be a convex body in of diameter at most . For a non-degenerate simplex
of diameter at most satisfying , define its -zonotope by
Makeev's conjecture. Every convex body in of diameter can be covered by a translate of for some non-degenerate simplex of diameter . This is a universal-covering problem for convex bodies and generalizes the planar covering result by a suitable -zonotope. The source presents the assertion as a problem of Makeev; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
