| Mar 8, 2011 at 14:19 | comment | added | Rawling | This page (www2.stetson.edu/~efriedma/circovcir) comes at it the other way: "How big a circle can I cover with n circles?". It claims the "I can cover a circle twice as big" case is trivial. | |
| Mar 8, 2011 at 13:53 | comment | added | Christian Blatter | This is a difficult problem: First you have to devise a covering that you assume to be optimal. Then comes the difficult part: If your covering uses, say, 10 circles you have to prove that one definitely cannot do with 9 circles. The area estimate you propose could be an idea, but it only gives that you need at least 5 small circles: 4 for covering the area and at least one for the unavoidable overlap. | |
