چکیده
A notion of random walks for circle packings is introduced. The geometry behind this notion is discussed, together with some applications. In particular, we obtain a short proof of a result regarding the type problem for circle packings, which shows that the type of a circle packing is closely related to the type of its tangency graph.

It has been shown that univalent circle packings filling in the complex plane C are unique up to similarities of C. Here we prove that bounded degree branched circle packings properly covering C are uniquely determined, up to similarities of C, by their branch sets. In particular, when branch sets of the packings considered are empty we obtain the earlier result. We also establish a circle pack...

The generating function for recurrent Polya walks on the four dimensional hypercubic lattice is expressed as a Kampé-de-Fériet function. Various properties of the associated walks are enumerated. Lattice statistics play an important role in many areas of chemistry and statistical physics. Random lattice walks have been investigated extensively, both numerically and analytically, and explicit an...
متن کاملCurved Hexagonal Packings of Equal Disks in a Circle
Abstract. For each k ≥ 1 and corresponding hexagonal number h(k) = 3k(k + 1)+ 1, we introduce m(k) = max{(k − 1)!/2, 1} packings of h(k) equal disks inside a circle which we call the curved hexagonal packings. The curved hexagonal packing of 7 disks (k = 1, m(1) = 1) is well known and one of the 19 disks (k = 2, m(2) = 1) has been previously conjectured to be optimal. New curved hexagonal packi...
