Densest Lattice Packings of 3-Polytopes

Metric Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Based on Minkowski's work on critical lattices of 3-dimensional convex bodies we present an efficient algorithm for computing the density of a densest lattice packing of an arbitrary 3-polytope. As an application we calculate densest lattice packings of all regular and Archimedean polytopes.
