A084826 Best packing of m>1 equal spheres in a cube setting a new density record. +0
3
2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 31, 32 (list; graph; listen)
OFFSET

1,1

COMMENT

The terms 31, 32 are only conjectures found by numerical experimentation. In the table given at the Pfoertner link, the densities are given relative to the density of the cubic lattice packing (pi/6). The first known arrangement with higher density than that of the cubic lattice packing was found for m=31 spheres. In the region 8<m<27 increasing packing densities occur for m=9,13,14. m=14 comes very close (0.994949) to the cubic lattice packing density.
