Sufficient conditions for the Besicovitch covering theorem to hold on groups of polynomial growth
Let $G$ be a finitely generated group with symmetric generating set $S$. Then $S$ induces a distance $d$ on $G$ by letting $d(a,b) = $ the minimum $n$ such that there are generators $s_1,...,s_n$ with ...

Besicovitch's covering theorem for ellipsoids and shadows
The usual Besicovitch's covering theorem concerns closed balls in $\mathbb{R}^d$. It relies on a property called "directionally limited metric space": the principal ingredient is to say that there can'...

Between Cover and Partition
In a cover problem, there is a complex shape (e.g. a polygon), and we have to find a set of simpler shapes (e.g. squares or rectangles), such that their union is exactly equal to the complex shape.
A ...

Maximum coverage of an orthogonal polygon using $k$ rectangles
I have an orthogonal polygon (all edges are horizontal or vertical) which is convex (no holes in any row of column of the polygon).
I would like to cover as much as possible of this orthogonal polygon ...

Cardinality of compact doubling metric spaces with fast growing covering numbers
In this question it was established that if the growth of the number of branches of an at-most $k$-branching tree is $\Omega(k^n)$ (in the Knuth sense), then the tree has continuum many branches.
...

When does a metric space admit finite covers by Voronoi diagrams of Delone sets?
Some preliminary definitions: For a given metric space $(X,d)$ and set $A\subset X$, the Voronoi diagram of $A$ (which I'll write $V(A)$) is the collection of sets of the form $$C_a=\{x\in X|\forall b\...

Covering number of the range of a function
I have come across the need to know a bound on a certain curious quantity: the covering number of the range of a continuous function $f: D \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$, where $D \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$. ...
