Talk:Kakeya set

message: I can't understand how it should be able to turn a needle in the depicted Besicovitch sets ... or, if this is not possible, what would be the connection to the Kakeya problem. Could this be added? -- Paul Ebermann (talk) 16:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would help to better separate the presentation of Besicovitch sets from that of Kakeya needle sets, and add greater information on the latter including the results of Pàl, Van Alphen, Bloom and Schoenberg, and Cunningham (cf. new external links). Perhaps, if I can find the time, I'll attempt a suitable edit. Gtgith (talk) 09:15, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Actually, there seems to be confusion between Besicovitch sets and Kakeya (needle) sets. They are defined as the same at the start of the article, but distinguished at the end of the Besicovitch sets section. Gtgith (talk) 09:36, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it's a personal website, however, it's the personal website of Terry Tao who is /was a published author dealing with mathematics.  This author appears to be notable and has been published since the 90's.  Appears to be okay in this sense.

thread_title:  Re-Added LInk 

message: Very simply, an annulus with inner radius r > 1 and outer radius (r + 1/r^2) has an arbitrarily small area (~2 pi / r) as r goes to infinity.  It fits the needle and allows it to rotate 360 degrees just by going all the way around the annulus.
Does the statement of the problem have additional conditions not listed on the wiki page to exclude this uninteresting solution?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DMPalmer (talk • contribs) 15:49, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't look right to me.  For an annulus of inner radius r to contain a unit segment, the outer radius must be at least sqrt(r^2 + 1/4).  Then the area of the annulus is exactly pi/4, independent of r.  Joule36e5 (talk) 21:09, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
