The Gilbert–Pollack conjecture is a hypothesis in the field of combinatorial optimization, specifically regarding the packing of sets in geometric spaces. It posits a relationship between the size of a set and its ability to be packed tightly with respect to certain constraints. Formally, the conjecture deals with the arrangement and packing of spheres in Euclidean space, particularly in three dimensions. It suggests that for any collection of spheres in three-dimensional space, there exists an optimal packing density that cannot be exceeded.
