Consequences of the packing problem
Abstract
We study several consequences of the packing problem, a conjecture from combinatorial optimization, using algebraic invariants of square-free monomial ideals. While the packing problem is currently unresolved, we successfully settle the validity of its consequences. Our work prompts additional questions and conjectures, which are presented together with their motivation.
