In $\mathbb{R}$, we have $n$ finite sets, namely $\{A_1,A_2,\dots, A_n\}$. From them, we define a tiling:
$$
T := \{x\in \mathbb{R}^n: x_i\in A_i\}
$$
Define size of tiling as $\sigma(T) = \sum_{i=1}^n|A_i|$.
Unit circle is denoted as $C =\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n: ||x||_2=1\}$. Given a small value $\epsilon$, we say tiling $T$ induces a $\epsilon$-covering of $C$ if
$$
C \subseteq \cup_{x\in T}B(x,\epsilon)
$$
where $B(x,\epsilon)$ is a ball centered at $x$ with radius $\epsilon$. 

Question 1: find $T_{min}$ such that $\sigma(T_{min})$ = $\min \{\sigma(T)$: $T$ induces a $\epsilon$-covering of $C\}$ and $T_{min}$ induces a $\epsilon$-covering of $C$.

Question 2: if it is hard to find an explicit expression of $T_{min}$, can we find a good estimation for $\sigma(T_{min})$?
