Methods used previously to construct such a covering can be refined and extended to provide an improved upper bound for the optimal area. An upper bound of 0.8440935944 is found.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-23T21:02:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "upper bound", "lebesgues covering problem", "henri lebesgue", "optimal area", "unit diameter" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
