We consider circle packings in the plane with circles of sizes $1$, $r\simeq 0.834$ and $s\simeq 0.651$. These sizes are algebraic numbers which allow a compact packing, that is, a packing in which each hole is formed by three mutually…

In 1967, Moon and Moser proved a tight bound on the critical density of squares in squares: any set of squares with a total area of at most 1/2 can be packed into a unit square, which is tight. The proof requires full knowledge of the set,…

In this paper, we deal with a simple geometric problem: Is it possible to partition a rectangle into $k$ non-congruent rectangles of equal area? This problem is motivated by the so-called `Mondrian art problem' that asks a similar question…

This paper presents a geometric approach to the classical isoperimetric problem by analysing the efficiency of regular polygons in enclosing maximum area for a fixed perimeter. Using efficiency metrics, it proves that regular polygons…

In this paper, we show that the total area of two distinct surfaces with Gaussian curvature equal to 1, which are also conformal to the Euclidean unit disk with the same conformal factor on the boundary, must be at least 4{\pi}. In other…

We give compact extended formulations for the packing and partitioning orbitopes (with respect to the full symmetric group) described and analyzed in (Kaibel and Pfetsch, 2008). These polytopes are the convex hulls of all 0/1-matrices with…

This paper proves a corner occupying theorem for the two-dimensional integral rectangle packing problem, stating that if it is possible to orthogonally place n arbitrarily given integral rectangles into an integral rectangular container…

We generalize the classical notion of packing a set by balls with identical radii to the case where the radii may be different. The largest number of such balls that fit inside the set without overlapping is called its {\em non-uniform…

We study dense packings of a large number of congruent non-overlapping circles inside a square by looking for configurations which maximize the packing density, defined as the ratio between the area occupied by the disks and the area of the…

For a geodesic ball with non-negative Ricci curvature and almost maximal volume, without using compactness argument, we construct an $\epsilon$-splitting map on a concentric geodesic ball with uniformly small radius. There are two new…

We study the compactness problem for moduli spaces of holomorphic supercurves which, being motivated by supergeometry, are perturbed such as to allow for transversality. We give an explicit construction of limiting objects for sequences of…

For a finite planar graph, it associates with some metric spaces, called (regular) spherical polyhedral surfaces, by replacing faces with regular spherical polygons in the unit sphere and gluing them edge-to-edge. We consider the class of…

We show that a large square of sidelength $x$ can be packed by unit squares in a manner so that the wasted space $W(x) = O(x^{3/5})$.

Consider an arrangement of $k$ lines intersecting the unit square. There is some minimum scaling factor so that any placement of a rectangle with aspect ratio $1 \times p$ with $p\geq 1$ must non-transversely intersect some portion of the…

In this paper, we introduce a natural geometric extension of the partition function. More precisely, we investigate the problem of counting partitions of a rectangle into rectangular blocks with integer sides. Here, two partitions of a…

Let $d$ be an integer greater than $1$, and let $t$ be fixed such that $\frac{1}{d} < t < \frac{1}{d-1}$. We prove that for any $n_0$ chosen sufficiently large depending upon $t$, the $d$-dimensional cubes of sidelength $n^{-t}$ for $n \geq…

The goal of random sequential adsorption (RSA), a time-dependent packing method, is to create a regular or asymmetric covering of an empty space that can fit in the allocated space without overlapping. The density of coverage tends to reach…

We consider the problem of packing rectangles into bins that are unit squares, where the goal is to minimize the number of bins used. All rectangles have to be packed non-overlapping and orthogonal, i.e., axis-parallel. We present an…

Two vertex-labelled polygons are \emph{compatible} if they have the same clockwise cyclic ordering of vertices. The definition extends to polygonal regions (polygons with holes) and to triangulations---for every face, the clockwise cyclic…

Using transversality and a dimension reduction argument, a result of A. Bezdek and W. Kuperberg is applied to polycylinders $\mathbb{D}^2\times \mathbb{R}^n$, showing that the optimal packing density is $\pi/\sqrt{12}$ in any dimension.
