Let K be a bounded open convex set in euclidean n-space Rn symmetric in the origin 0. Further let L be a discrete point set in Rn containing 0 and at least n linearly independent points of Rn. Put mi = inf ui extended over all positive real numbers ui for which uiK contains i linearly independent points of L, i = 1, 2, …, n.
