SCHWEITZER 1986 Problem 9

    Consider a latticelike packing of translates of a convex region KK . Let tt be the area of the fundamental parallelogram of the lattice defining the packing, and let tmin⁡(K)t_{\min} (K) denote the minimal value of tt taken for all latticelike packings. Is there a natural number NN such that for any n>Nn>N and for any KK different from a parallelogram, ntmin⁡(K)nt_{\min} (K) is smaller that the area of any convex domain in which nn translates to KK can be placed without overlapping? (By a latticelike packing of KK we mean a set of nonoverlapping translates of KK obtained from KK by translations with all vectors of a lattice.) [G. and L. Fejes-Toth]
