A Brief Overview of Packing Problems

Denis Weaire, Adil Mughal, Stefan Hutzler

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

We offer a general motivation for the several varieties of packing problems that are discussed in this volume, and introduce some of the key contributors to the long history of the subject. The rapid progress made in recent years has been driven by the development of new theoretical approaches, computer-assisted analysis of experimental samples, and extensive computer simulations.
