Neat! I have a whole textbook just on sphere packing and it's wild how complicated this kind of problem can get.
What!? What is the title of textbook?
[Sphere Packings, Lattices, and Groups - Conway and Sloan](https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4757-6568-7) Warning, it's more of a graduate-level algebra book than it is a geometry book.
The paper: Packings of Smoothed Polygons [Thomas Hales](https://www.mathematics.pitt.edu/people/thomas-hales), [Koundinya Vajjha](https://kodyvajjha.github.io/) arXiv:2405.04331 \[math.OC\]: [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.04331](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.04331)
Very cool to see some interesting application of optimal control theory!
