Abstract
In 1957, Hadwiger made the famous conjecture that any convex body of -dimensional Euclidean space can be covered by smaller positive homothetic copies. Up to now, this conjecture is still open for all . Denote by the smallest positive number such that can be covered by translations of . The values of for some particular and have been studied. In this article, we will focus on the situation where is the unit crosspolytope of the three-dimensional.
