Convex polygons are cover-decomposable (Q2380774)

It is proved that for every open polygon \(P\) there exists a constant \(k=k(P)\) such that every \(k\)-fold covering of the plane by translates of \(P\) can be decomposed into two coverings. The authors conjecture that there is a universal constant \(k\) such that every \(k\)-fold covering of the plane with translates of an arbitrary given quadrilateral can be decomposed into two coverings.
