Abstract
A planar set is said to be cover-decomposable if there is a constant such that every -fold covering of the plane with translates of can be decomposed into two coverings. It is known that open convex polygons are cover-decomposable. Here we show that closed, centrally symmetric convex polygons are also cover-decomposable. We also show that an infinite-fold covering of the plane with translates of can be decomposed into two infinite-fold coverings. Both results hold for coverings of any subset of the plane.
