Dynamical circle covering with homogeneous Poisson updating (Q951185)

The author considers a dynamical variant of A. Dvoretzky's classical covering problem of the unit circumference devised by him and \textit{J. Steif} [Ann. Prob. 36, 739--764 (2008; Zbl 1147.60063)]. A condition appearing in this reference is modified in order to take care of the natural border case \(\ell _{n}=1/n\), where \(\ell _{n}\) stands for the length of the \(n\)th covering arc. It is shown that in this border care there are no exceptional times, i.e., times at which the circle is not fully covered. More generally, with the parametrization \(\ell _{n}=c/n\), there is no \(c\) for which there are exceptional times for which the model behaves differently from the Dvoretzky model.
