Packing problems

Smoothed octagon

The smoothed octagon is a region in the plane found by Karl Reinhardt in 1934 and conjectured by him to have the lowest maximum packing density of the plane of all centrally symmetric convex shapes. It was also independently discovered by Kurt Mahler in 1947. It is constructed by replacing the corners of a regular octagon with a section of a hyperbola that is tangent to the two sides adjacent to the corner and asymptotic to the sides adjacent to these. (Wikipedia).

Isolating a logarithm and using the power rule to solve

👉 Learn how to solve logarithmic equations. Logarithmic equations are equations with logarithms in them. To solve a logarithmic equation, we first isolate the logarithm part of the equation. After we have isolated the logarithm part of the equation, we then get rid of the logarithm. This i

Corinna Ulcigrai - 4/6 Parabolic dynamics and renormalization: an introduction

Parabolic dynamical systems are mathematical models of the many phenomena which display a "slow" form of chaotic evolution, in the sense that nearby trajectories diverge polynomially in time. In contrast with hyperbolic and elliptic dynamical systems, there is no general theory which desc

Corinna Ulcigrai - 1/4 Chaotic Properties of Area Preserving Flows

Flows on surfaces are one of the fundamental examples of dynamical systems, studied since Poincaré; area preserving flows arise from many physical and mathematical examples, such as the Novikov model of electrons in a metal, unfolding of billiards in polygons, pseudo-periodic topology. In

C. Judge - Systoles in translation surfaces

I will discuss joint work with Hugo Parlier concerning the shortest noncontractible loops—’systoles’—in a translation surface. In particular, we provide estimates (some sharp) on the number of systoles (up to homotopy) in the strata H(2g-2) and the stratum H(1,1). We also determine the ma

Laser beams in a maze with octagonal and square cells

Yay, another maze type! This one, suggested in comments, is based on a particular so-called semi-regular tiling, made of regular octagons and squares. The tiling is also called truncated square tiling, or truncated quadrille. At the beginning of the simulation, 15000 laser beams, or parti
