Abstract

Given a convex disk K and a positive integer k, let \(\vartheta _T^k(K)\) and \(\vartheta _L^k(K)\) denote the k-fold translative covering density and the k-fold lattice covering density of K, respectively. Let T be a triangle. In a very recent paper, Sriamorn (http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.5096, 2014) proved that \(\vartheta _L^k(T)=\frac{2k+1}{2}\). In this paper, we will show that \(\vartheta _T^k(T)=\vartheta _L^k(T)\).
