Abstract

Let (C1, C2, …) be a sequence of convex bodies in n-dimensional euclidean space En, and let υ(Ci) denote the volume and d(Ci) the diameter of Ci. It is shown that the conditions

imply that the sets Ci can be rearranged by the application of rigid motions so that the resulting sets form a packing in En of density 1. A corresponding result for coverings of En is also proved.
