Let $D(n)$ be the maximum overhang achievable by a standard stack of $n$ blocks, and let $D^*(n)$ be the maximum overhang achievable by a loaded stack of weight $n$. Bounded loaded…

Consider an optimal loaded stack and a collection of stabilizing forces balancing it. A downward force is applied at an edge of a block except possibly when it is applied to a righ…

For each integer $n$, let $S^*(n)$ denote the maximum overhang of an optimal loaded spinal stack of weight $n$, and let $S(n)$ denote the maximum overhang obtained when the heurist…

Let $D(n)$ be the maximum overhang achievable by a standard stack of $n$ blocks, and let $D^*(n)$ be the maximum overhang achievable by a loaded stack of weight $n$. Loaded–standar…
