Arrangement of circles in a plane without interior overlap. The covered area fraction is its packing fraction. Equal-radius square packing has fraction .
Circle packing is a mathematical concept that involves arranging circles within a given space, such that no two circles overlap and the arrangement satisfies certain criteria. The study of circle packing includes investigating how many circles of a given size can fit into a larger circle or how circles of different sizes can be arranged optimally.
