• Mesh Ratios for Best-Packing and Limits of Minimal Energy Configurations 

      [OWP-2013-13] Bondarenko, A. V.; Hardin, Douglas P.; Saff, Edward B. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013-06-10)
      For $N$-point best-packing configurations $\omega_N$ on a compact metric space $(A, \rho)$, we obtain estimates for the mesh-separation ratio $\gamma(\rho_N , A)$, which is the quotient of the covering radius of $\omega_N$ ...
    • On Concentrators and Related Approximation Constants 

      [OWP-2013-14] Bondarenko, A. V.; Prymak, A.; Radchenko, D. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013-06-10)
      Pippenger ([Pip77]) showed the existence of (6m, 4m, 3m, 6)-concentrator for each positive integer m using a probabilistic method. We generalize his approach and prove existence of (6m, 4m, 3m, 5.05)-concentrator (which ...
