Abstract
A point x in a normed space X is said to be singular for a given tiling of X whenever each neighborhood of x intersects infinitely many tiles. We show that, when X is infinite-dimensional and all tiles are convex, special poi nts in the boundary of tiles (like extreme points or PC points, if any) mus t be singular. Under the further assumptions that X is separable and doesn' t contain c(0), singular points abound among the smooth points of any bound ed tile. Finally, in any normed space a tiling is constructed which is free of singular points and whose members are both bounded and star-shaped; thi s disproves the conjecture that Corson's theorem might apply to star-shaped bounded coverings.
