Bang's affine plank conjecture
Let be a convex body, and let be planks covering it. If is parallel to the boundary hyperplanes of , define the relative width of by , where is the width of in the direction of . Bang's affine plank conjecture. The sum of the relative widths is at least :
This affine-invariant strengthening of Tarski's plank problem is explicitly described later in the survey as an important open problem in convex geometry.
