Ellipsoid packing refers to the arrangement of ellipsoidal objects within a given volume in the most efficient way possible, often focusing on maximizing density—similar to how spheres can be packed. This concept arises in various fields, including mathematics, computer science, materials science, and physics. In three-dimensional space, the challenge of ellipsoid packing involves determining how to place ellipsoids (which can have different sizes and aspect ratios) to minimize the amount of unused space.
