A geometric inequality for circle packings
Abstract
A geometric inequality among three triangles, originating in circle packing problems, is introduced. In order to prove it, we reduce the original formulation to the nonnegativity of a particular polynomial in four real indeterminates. Techniques based on sum of squares decompositions, semidefinite programming, and symmetry reduction are then applied to provide an easily verifiable nonnegativity certificate.
