Semantic Scholar extracted view of "Sausage-skin problems for finite coverings" by G. L. In this paper, we settle the case when the inner w-radius of Cn is at least 0( d/m). For the sake of brevity, we will say that the pair of convex bodies K, E is a sausage if either K = L + E where L ∈ K n with dim L ≤ 1 or E = L + K where L ∈ K n with dim L ≤ 1. A packing of translates of a convex body in the d-dimensional Euclidean space $${{mathrm{mathbb {E}}}}^d$$ E d is said to be totally separable if any two packing elements can be separated by a hyperplane of $$mathbb {E}^{d}$$ E d disjoint from the interior of every packing element. Fejes Toth conjectured that in E d , d ≥ 5, the sausage arrangement is denser than any other packing of n unit balls. 1.
