On geodesics of phyllotaxis

Roland Bacher (2014)

Confluentes Mathematici

Seeds of sunflowers are often modelled by n ϕ θ ( n ) = n e 2 i π n θ leading to a roughly uniform repartition with seeds indexed by consecutive integers at angular distance 2 π θ for θ the golden ratio. We associate to such a map ϕ θ a geodesic path γ θ : > 0 PSL 2 ( ) of the modular curve and use it for local descriptions of the image ϕ θ ( ) of the phyllotactic map ϕ θ .

On-line Covering the Unit Square with Squares

Janusz Januszewski (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The unit square can be on-line covered with any sequence of squares whose total area is not smaller than 4.

On-line Packing Squares into n Unit Squares

Janusz Januszewski (2010)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

If n ≥ 3, then any sequence of squares of side lengths not greater than 1 whose total area does not exceed ¼(n+1) can be on-line packed into n unit squares.

Optimal packings for filled rings of circles

Dinesh B. Ekanayake, Manjula Mahesh Ranpatidewage, Douglas J. LaFountain (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

General circle packings are arrangements of circles on a given surface such that no two circles overlap except at tangent points. In this paper, we examine the optimal arrangement of circles centered on concentric annuli, in what we term rings. Our motivation for this is two-fold: first, certain industrial applications of circle packing naturally allow for filled rings of circles; second, any packing of circles within a circle admits a ring structure if one allows for irregular spacing of circles...

Optimisation hybride par colonies de fourmis pour le problème de découpe à deux dimensions

Alice Yalaoui, Chengbin Chu (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Nous nous intéressons dans cet article au problème de découpe guillotine en deux dimensions noté 2BP/O/G. Il s'agit de découper un certain nombre de pièces rectangulaires dans un ensemble de plaques de matière première, elles même rectangulaires et identiques. Celles-ci sont disponibles en quantité illimitée. L'objectif est de minimiser le nombre de plaques utilisées pour satisfaire la demande, en appliquant une succession de coupes, dites guillotines, allant de bout en bout. Nous proposons une approche...
