Semidefinite programming bounds for the average kissing number
Maria Dostert, Alexander Kolpakov, Fernando Mário de Oliveira Filho
The average kissing number of is the supremum of the average degrees of contact graphs of packings of finitely many balls (of any radii) in . We provid…
Exact semidefinite programming bounds for packing problems
Maria Dostert, David de Laat, Philippe Moustrou
In this paper we give an algorithm to round the floating point output of a semidefinite programming solver to a solution over the rationals or a quadratic extension of the rational…
Kissing number in spherical space
Maria Dostert, Alexander Kolpakov
This paper investigates the behaviour of the kissing number of congruent radius spheres in , for . Such a quantity depends on the radius $r…
Kissing number in hyperbolic space
Maria Dostert, Alexander Kolpakov
This paper provides upper and lower bounds on the kissing number of congruent radius spheres in , for . For that purpose, the kissing number is repla…
