In 1900, as a part of his 18th problem, Hilbert proposed the question to determine the densest congruent (or translative) packings of a given solid, such as the unit ball or the regular tetrahedron of unit edges. Up to now, our knowledge…

We determine the optimal horoball packing densities for Koszul-type Coxeter simplex tilings in hyperbolic $3$-space. Using a parametrization of horoballs by the Busemann function and the symmetry of the tilings, we obtain families of…

We derive lower bounds on the maximal rates for multiple packings in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. Multiple packing is a natural generalization of the sphere packing problem. For any $ N>0 $ and $ L\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge2} $, a multiple…

In this paper we study congruent and non-congruent hyperball (hypersphere) packings of the truncated regular tetrahedron tilings. These are derived from the Coxeter simplex tilings $\{p,3,3\}$ $(7\le p \in \mathbb{N})$ and $\{5,3,3,3,3\}$…

The most efficient way to pack equally sized spheres isotropically in 3D is known as the random close packed state, which provides a starting point for many approximations in physics and engineering. However, the particle size distribution…

The average distance of the equal hard spheres is introduced to evaluate the density of a given arrangement. The absolute smallest value is two radii because the spheres can not be closer to each other than their diameter. The absolute…
