Abstract

A problem of Steinhaus was to partition a finite interval II of the real line into countably infinitely many pairwise disjoint sets that are congruent in the sense that each set is a translate of a fixed set AA. This paper describes von Neumann's solution of the Steinhaus problem and generalizes the result to parallelepipeds in Rn\mathbf{R}^n.
