Abstract
In 2021, Henk, Schymura and Xue introduced packing minima, associated with a convex body and a lattice, as packing counterparts to the covering minima of Kannan and Lov\'asz. Motivated by conjectures on the volume inequalities for the successive minima, we generalized the definition of the packing minima to the class of all convex bodies that contain the origin in their interior. For these packing minima, we presented several novel volume inequalities and calculated the specific values of the packing minima for several special convex bodies.
