A container, usually a two- or three-dimensional convex region, possibly of infinite size. Multiple containers may be given depending on the problem. A set of objects, some or all of which must be packed into one or more containers. The set may contain different objects with their sizes specified, or a single object of a fixed dimension that ...
The strictly jammed (mechanically stable even as a finite system) regular sphere packing with the lowest known density is a diluted ("tunneled") fcc crystal with a density of only π √ 2 /9 ≈ 0.49365. [6] The loosest known regular jammed packing has a density of approximately 0.0555. [7]
In mathematics, the theory of finite sphere packing concerns the question of how a finite number of equally-sized spheres can be most efficiently packed. The question of packing finitely many spheres has only been investigated in detail in recent decades, with much of the groundwork being laid by László Fejes Tóth .
The Hilbert cube carries the product Lebesgue measure [3] and the compact topological group given by the Tychonoff product of an infinite number of copies of the circle group is infinite-dimensional and carries a Haar measure that is translation-invariant. These two spaces can be mapped onto each other in a measure-preserving way by unwrapping ...
Lebesgue measure is both locally finite and inner regular, and so it is a Radon measure. Lebesgue measure is strictly positive on non-empty open sets, and so its support is the whole of R n. If A is a Lebesgue-measurable set with λ(A) = 0 (a null set), then every subset of A is also a null set. A fortiori, every subset of A is measurable.
De Bruijn was led to prove this result after his then-seven-year-old son, F. W. de Bruijn, was unable to pack bricks of dimension into a cube. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The cube has a volume equal to that of 27 {\displaystyle 27} bricks, but only 26 {\displaystyle 26} bricks may be packed into it.
The zero-dimensional Hausdorff measure is the number of points in the set (if the set is finite) or ∞ if the set is infinite. Likewise, the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a simple curve in R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is equal to the length of the curve, and the two-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a Lebesgue-measurable subset ...
Any infinite-dimensional convex compact subset of is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube. The Hilbert cube is a convex set, whose span is dense in the whole space, but whose interior is empty. This situation is impossible in finite dimensions. The closed tangent cone to the cube at the zero vector is the whole space.
