AbstractLet Kbe a convex body in Ed and denote by Cn the set of centroids of n non-overlapping translates of K. Forϱ > 0, assume that the parallel body conv Cn+ϱ K of convCn has minimal volume. The notion of parametric density (see [21]) provides a bridge between finite and infinite packings (see [4] or [14]). It is known that there exists a maximal ϱs(K) ≥ 1/(32d2) such that convCn is a segment for ϱ < ϱs(see [5]). We prove the existence of a minimal ϱc(K) ≤ d+ 1 such that if ϱ > ϱc and n is large then the shape of conv Cn can not be too far from the shape of K. For d= 2, we verify that ϱs= ϱc. For d≥ 3, we present the first example of a convex body with known ϱs and ϱc; namely, we have ϱs= ϱ c= 1 for the parallelotope.
