Circle Packing Theorem - Relations With Conformal Mapping Theory
... in 1985, William Thurston conjectured that circle packings could be used to approximate conformal mappings ... More precisely, Thurston used circle packings to find a conformal mapping from an arbitrary open disk A to the interior of a circle the mapping from one topological disk A to another ... Thurston's idea was to pack circles of some small radius r in a hexagonal tessellation of the plane, within region A, leaving a narrow region near the boundary of A ...

Famous quotes containing the word circle:
“Wise child, didst hastily return
And mad’st thy mother’s womb thine urn.
How summed a circle didst thou leave mankind
Of deepest lore, could we the center find!”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
