摘要
A collection of non-overlapping spheres in the space is called a packing. Two spheres are said to be neighbours if they have a boundary point in common. A packing is called k-regular if each sphere has exactly k neighbours. We are concerned with the following question. What is the minimum number of not necessarily congruent spheres which may form a k-regular packing? In general, for which natural numbers n and k does there exist a connected k-regular packing of exactly n spheres?
