Thinnest Covering of the Euclidean Plane with Incongruent Circles

In 1958 L. Fejes Tóth and J. Molnar proposed a conjecture about a lower bound for the thinnest covering of the plane by circles with arbitrary radii from a given interval of the reals. If only two kinds of radii can occur this conjecture was in essence proven by A. Florian in 1962, leaving the gener...
