Upper Bounds for Non-Congruent Sphere Packings

Abstract

We prove upper bounds on the average kissing number $k(\mathcal{P})$ and contact number $C(\mathcal{P})$ of an arbitrary finite non-congruent sphere packing $\mathcal{P}$, and prove an upper bound on the packing density $\delta(\mathcal{P})$ of an arbitrary infinite non-congruent sphere packing $\mathcal{P}$.
