A smaller cover of the moser’s worm problem

© 2018, Chiang Mai University. All rights reserved. The Moser’s worm problem asks for a smallest set on the plane that contains a congruent copy of every unit arc. Such smallest covering set has not been found yet. The smallest known cover constructed by Norwood and Poole in 2003 [6] has area 0.2604...
