New Approaches to Circle Packing in a Square - With Program Codes (Hardcover, 2007)

New Approaches to Circle Packing into the Square is devoted to the most recent results on the densest packing of equal circles in a square. In the last few decades, many articles have considered this question, which has been an object of interest since it is a hard challenge both in discrete geometry and in mathematical programming. The authors have studied this geometrical optimization problem for a long time, and they developed several new algorithms to solve it. The book completely covers the investigations on this topic.
