We consider the problem of packing congruent circles with the maximum radius in a unit square as a mathematical optimization problem. Due to the presence of non-overlapping constraints, this problem is a notoriously difficult nonconvex…

A construction for sphere packings is introduced that is parallel to the ``anticode'' construction for codes. This provides a simple way to view Vardy's recent 20-dimensional sphere packing, and also produces packings in dimensions 22,…

We develop an algorithm to construct new self-similar space-filling packings of spheres. Each topologically different configuration is characterized by its own fractal dimension. We also find the first bi-cromatic packing known up to now.
