A sufficient condition for an extreme covering of n-space by spheres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Extract
The problem of finding the most economical coverings of n-dimensional Euclidean space by equal spheres whose centres form a lattice, which is equivalent to a problem concerning the inhomogeneous minima of positive definite quadratic forms, has been discussed recently by Barnes and Dickson [1]. The reader is referred to [1] for a complete background on the problem. Terms and notations used will be as in that paper.
