Hadwiger's covering conjecture for convex bodies
Hadwiger's covering conjecture for convex bodies
Let be a convex body in , meaning a compact convex set with interior points, and let be the least number of translates of the relative interior of needed to cover .
Hadwiger's covering conjecture. For each , is bounded from above by , and this upper bound is attained only by parallelotopes.
Hadwiger's covering conjecture concerns the least upper bound of the covering numbers of convex bodies. The source presents it as a longstanding conjecture and gives references for further information; no resolution is stated here.
