Periodic Planar Disk Packings

چکیده
Several conditions are given when a packing of equal disks in a torus is locally maximally dense, where the torus is defined as the quotient of the plane by a two-dimensional lattice. Conjectures are presented that claim that the density of any strictly jammed packings, whose graph does not consist of all triangles and the torus lattice is the standard triangular lattice, is at most n n+1 π √ 12 , where n is the number of packing disks. Several classes of collectively jammed packings are presented where the conjecture holds.

Disks vs. Spheres: Contrasting Properties of Random Packings
Collections of random packings of rigid disks and spheres have been generated by computer using a previously described concurrent algorithm. Particles begin as infinitesimal moving points, grow in size at a uniform rate, undergo energynonconserving collisions, and eventually jam up. Periodic boundary conditions apply, and various numbers of particles have been considered (N~<2000 for disks, N~<...
متن کاملConformal Uniformization and Packings
A new short proof is given for Brandt and Harrington's theorem about conformal uniformizations of planar nitely connected domains as domains with boundary components of speciied shapes. This method of proof generalizes to periodic domains. Letting the uniformized domains degenerate in a controlled manner, we deduce the existence of packings of speciied shapes and with speciied combinatorics. Th...
متن کاملLattice-based random jammed configurations for hard particles.
A nontrivial subset of the jammed packings for rigid disks and spheres are those that can be obtained by sequential removal of particles from periodic crystalline arrays. This paper considers the enumeration problems presented by such packings that are based on the close-packed triangular disk lattice, and the face-centered and body-centered cubic sphere lattices. Three distinct categories of p...
متن کاملComplementary Periodic Structures for Miniaturization of Planar Antennas
In this paper various layered planar periodic structures which provide miniaturization of planar antennas are proposed and discussed. The proposed designs are based on two concepts, reactive impedance surfaces and complementary periodic structures. In the proposed structures, complementary periodic rings and slots are patterned on the intermediate boundaries of the dielectric layers. A patch an...
متن کاملThe C1 Convergence of Hexagonal Disk Packings to the Riemann Map
TO THE RIEMANN MAP Zheng-Xu He and Oded Schramm Abstract. Let $ C be a simply connected domain. The Rodin-SullivanTheorem states that a sequence of disk packings in the unit disk U converges, in a well de ned sense, to a conformal map from to U . Moreover, it is known that the rst and second derivatives converge as well. Here, it is proven that for hexagonal disk packings the convergence is C1 ...
