Abstract
A compact packing is a set of non-overlapping discs where all the holes between discs are curvilinear triangles. There is only one compact packing by discs of size . There are exactly values of which allow a compact packing by discs of sizes and . We prove here that there are exactly pairs allowing a compact packing by discs of sizes , and .
