Abstract: Let two concentric circles $k$ and $K$ be given on the plane with radii $r$ and $R$, $r<R$. Assume that the disc bounded by $k$ is covered by angular domains whose vertices are within $K$. Then the sum of the angles of these angular domains is greater than or equal to the view angle of $k$ from an arbitrary point of $K$.

Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00079.] \(K\) étant un convexe fermé de \(\mathbb{R}^ n\), la largeur minimale de \(K\) est définie comme largeur minimale d'une bande contenant \(K\). Suite à une conjecture de A. Tarski (1932), T. Bang a montré que si \(K\) est recouvert par un nombre fini de bandes, alors la somme des largeurs de ces bandes est supérieure ou égale à la largeur minimale de \(K\). L'auteur fournit ici deux démonstrations du résultat précédent dans le cas particulier où \(K\) est un disque de \(\mathbb{R}^ 2\). Pour ce faire, il met en évidence une mesure convenable dont il utilise la sous-additivité.
