The packing and covering density conjecture for symmetric four-element sets
The packing and covering density conjecture for symmetric four-element sets
Let be coprime positive integers, and let
For a finite set , write for its packing density and for its covering density. The packing and covering density conjecture.
The statement gives the proposed exact packing and covering densities for symmetric four-element sets; the surrounding discussion identifies the related packing conjecture of Liu and Zhu as open and presents this covering counterpart as connected to a Ramsey-theoretic problem. The supplied source does not establish whether this combined statement has since been resolved.
