Abstract

The Palasti conjecture on the asymptotic mean proportion of coverage is verified for the sequential random packing of rectangular cars with sides parallel to rectangular boundaries in the models of Rényi and Solomon. The extension to n dimensions is given. An extension to a random car size model is indicated.
