What are some examples of efficient packing results that led to or inspired practical solutions?
- martyvis 4y agoOne I can think of is circles-in-circles where you are bundling wires or optical fibre cores into cables. (And probably for tensile cables used in bridges and so on)
- navium 4y agoBin packing everywhere! Truck loading? Minimizing maximum to minimum ratio for structural stability.
- cycomanic 4y agoCommunications theory is largely about how to pack circles/spheres efficiently in multiple dimensions. So arguably pretty much all of the modern society is based on efficient packing.
