Thinnest Covering of the Euclidean Plane with Incongruent Circles

Dietmar Dorninger — 2017

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

In 1958 L. Fejes Tóth and J. Molnar proposed a conjecture about a lower bound for the thinnest covering of the plane by circles with arbitrary radii from a given interval of the reals. If only two kinds of radii can occur this conjecture was in essence proven by A. Florian in 1962, leaving the general case unanswered till now. The goal of this paper is to analytically describe the general case in such a way that the conjecture can easily be numerically verified and upper and lower limits for the...

Ring-like structures with unique symmetric difference related to quantum logic

Dietmar DorningerHelmut LängerMaciej Maczyński — 2001

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Ring-like quantum structures generalizing Boolean rings and having the property that the terms corresponding to the two normal forms of the symmetric difference in Boolean algebras coincide are investigated. Subclasses of these structures are algebraically characterized and related to quantum logic. In particular, a physical interpretation of the proposed model following Mackey's approach to axiomatic quantum mechanics is given.

On the structure of numerical event spaces

The probability p ( s ) of the occurrence of an event pertaining to a physical system which is observed in different states s determines a function p from the set S of states of the system to [ 0 , 1 ] . The function p is called a numerical event or multidimensional probability. When appropriately structured, sets P of numerical events form so-called algebras of S -probabilities. Their main feature is that they are orthomodular partially ordered sets of functions p with an inherent full set of states. A classical...
