Let k >= 2 and F be a linear k-uniform hypergraph with v vertices. We prove that if n is sufficiently large and v|n, then every quasirandom k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with constant edge density and minimum degree $\Omega(n^{k-1})$…
We develop an analogue for sphere packing of the linear programming bounds for error-correcting codes, and use it to prove upper bounds for the density of sphere packings, which are the best bounds known at least for dimensions 4 through…
Given a set $V$, a subset $S$, and a permutation $\pi$ of $V$, we say that $\pi$ permutes $S$ if $\pi (S) \cap S = \emptyset$. Given a collection $\cS = \{V; S_1,\ldots , S_m\}$, where $S_i \subseteq V ~~(i=1,\ldots ,m)$, we say that $\cS$…
The integer $\beta (\rho, v, k)$ is defined to be the maximum number of blocks in any $(v, k)$-packing in which the maximum partial parallel class (or PPC) has size $\rho$. This problem was introduced and studied by Stinson for the case…
Using Brakke's Evolver, we numerically verify previous conjectures for optimal double bubbles for density $r^p$ in $R^3$ and our own new conjectures for triple bubbles.
We study how the Hausdorff measure is distributed in nonsymmetric narrow cones in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, we find an upper bound close to $n-k$ for the Hausdorff dimension of sets with large $k$-porosity. With $k$-porous sets we…
We extend the results previously published on exact packing dimensions of random recursive constructions to include constructions satisfying commonly occurring conditions. We remove the restrictive assumption that the diameter reduction…
The problem that we consider is the following: given an $n \times n$ array $A$ of positive numbers, find a tiling using at most $p$ rectangles (which means that each array element must be covered by some rectangle and no two rectangles must…
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…
In this paper we find an upper bound for the probability that a $3$ dimensional simple random walk covers each point in a nearest neighbor path connecting 0 and the boundary of an $L_1$ ball of radius $N$. For $d\ge 4$, it has been shown in…
We improve the previously best known upper bounds on the sizes of $\theta$-spherical codes for every $\theta<\theta^*\approx 62.997^{\circ}$ at least by a factor of $0.4325$, in sufficiently high dimensions. Furthermore, for sphere packing…
In this note we study packing or covering integer programs with at most k constraints, which are also known as k-dimensional knapsack problems. For any integer k > 0 and real epsilon > 0, we observe there is a polynomial-sized LP for the…
The notion of a completely saturated packing [Fejes Toth, Kuperberg and Kuperberg, Highly saturated packings and reduced coverings, Monats. Math. 125 (1998) 127-145] is a sharper version of maximum density, and the analogous notion of a…
A packing of a graph G with Hamilton cycles is a set of edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles in G. Such packings have been studied intensively and recent results imply that a largest packing of Hamilton cycles in G_n,p a.a.s. has size \lfloor…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a packing of circular disks of radius $\rho>0$ in the Euclidean, spherical, or hyperbolic plane. Let $0\leq\lambda\leq\rho$. We say that $\mathcal{P}$ is a $\lambda$-separable packing of circular disks of radius $\rho$…
In this paper, we prove abundance for non-uniruled 3-folds with non-trivial Albanese maps, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 5$. As an application we get a characterization of abelian 3-folds.
In the paper, packings built of identical cuboids with a square base created by random sequential adsorption are studied. The result of the study show that the packing of the highest density are obtained for oblate and prolate cuboids of…
It is known that $\sum\limits_{i =1}^\infty {1/ i^2}={\pi^2/6}$. Meir and Moser asked what is the smallest $\epsilon$ such that all the squares of sides of length $1$, $1/2$, $1/3$, $\ldots$ can be packed into a rectangle of area…
We have studied the packing of congruent disks on a spherical cap, for caps of different size and number of disks, $N$. This problem has been considered before only in the limit cases of circle packing inside a circle and on a sphere…
We push forward the study of higher dimensional stable Hamiltonian topology by establishing two non-density results. First, we prove that stable hypersurfaces are not $C^3$-dense in any isotopy class of embedded hypersurfaces on any ambient…
