Let Delta be a random spherical triangle (meaning that vertices are independent and uniform on the unit sphere). A closed-form expression for the area density of Delta has been known since 1867; a complicated integral expression for the…
In a previous work, a simple approach to derive the jamming packing fraction of a hard-sphere mixture from the knowledge of the random close-packing fraction of the monocomponent system was proposed. Now, an extension of that approach is…
Shortly after the determination of the first protein x-ray crystal structures, researchers analyzed their cores and reported packing fractions $\phi \approx 0.75$, a value that is similar to close packing equal-sized spheres. A limitation…
We use numerical simulations in a Lambda CDM cosmology to model density profiles in a set of 16 dark matter haloes with resolutions of up to 7 million particles within the virial radius. These simulations allow us to follow robustly the…
The classical integral cross sections of large superfluid 4He_N droplets and the number of atoms in the droplets (N=10^3-10^4) have been measured in molecular beam scattering experiments. These measurements are found to be in good agreement…
Supergroups of some hyperbolic space groups are classified as a continuation of our former works. Fundamental domains will be integer parts of truncated tetrahedra belonging to families F1 - F4, for a while, by the notation of E. Moln\'{a}r…
Among the family of hard convex lens-shaped particles (lenses), the one with aspect ratio equal to 2/3 is `optimal' in the sense that the maximally random jammed (MRJ) packings of such lenses achieve the highest packing fraction $\phi_{\rm…
A series of electronic and structural transitions are predicted in molten lithium from first principles. A new phase with tetrahedral local order characteristic of $sp^3$ bonded materials and poor electrical conductivity is found at…
In this paper, we present the first nontrivial lower bound on the translative covering density of tetrahedra. To this end, we show the lower bound, in any translative covering of tetrahedra, on the density relative to a given cube. The…
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 investigate the degree of $\alpha$ ($^4$He nucleus) clustering in the ground-state density profiles of $^{44}$Ti and $^{52}$Ti. Two types of density distributions, shell- and cluster-model configurations, are generated fully…
We provide a tight result for a fundamental problem arising from packing squares into a circular container: The critical density of packing squares into a disk is $\delta=\frac{8}{5\pi}\approx 0.509$. This implies that any set of (not…
The densest local packings of N identical nonoverlapping spheres within a radius Rmin(N) of a fixed central sphere of the same size are obtained using a nonlinear programming method operating in conjunction with a stochastic search of…
Dense packings of hard particles have important applications in many fields, including condensed matter physics, discrete geometry and cell biology. In this paper, we employ a stochastic search implementation of the Torquato-Jiao…
In an old paper of the author the thinnest five-neighbour packing of translates of a convex disc (different from a parallelogram) was determined. The minimal density was $3/7$, and was attained for a certain packing of triangles. In that…
The smallest maximum kissing-number Voronoi polyhedron of 3d spheres is the icosahedron and the tetrahedron is the smallest volume that can show up in Delaunay tessalation. No periodic lattice is consistent with either and hence these dense…
The densest local packings of N three-dimensional identical nonoverlapping spheres within a radius Rmin(N) of a fixed central sphere of the same size are obtained for selected values of N up to N = 1054. In the predecessor to this paper…
We analyze the general problem of determining optimally dense packings, in a Euclidean or hyperbolic space, of congruent copies of some fixed finite set of bodies. We are strongly guided by examples of aperiodic tilings in Euclidean space…
We determine putative optimal packings of regular spherical polygons via optimization on smooth manifolds. For several cases, we establish maximality by extending the Lov\'asz theta number to Cayley graphs on the special orthogonal group…
We study the problem of high-dimensional multiple packing in Euclidean space. Multiple packing is a natural generalization of sphere packing and is defined as follows. Let $ N>0 $ and $ L\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge2} $. A multiple packing is a set…
