Abstract:We consider the smallest-area universal covering of planar objects of perimeter 2 (or equivalently, closed curves of length 2) allowing translations and discrete rotations. In particular, we show that the solution is an equilateral triangle of height 1 when translations and discrete rotations of π are allowed. We also give convex coverings of closed curves of length 2 under translations and discrete rotations of multiples of π/2 and of 2π/3. We show that no proper closed subset of that covering is a covering f… Show more
