Abstract:
The 2D packings of cubes (i.e. squares) in the torus are considered. We obtain the exact expression for the quantity , the maximal number of 2D cubes in a packing. (Here is the length of sides of cubes, .) Corresponding best packings are constructed. Both rank 1 best lattice packings and rank 2 best lattice packings are given.
