Considering the 1-parameter family of diagonally distorted 3-dimensional integer lattices, we show that the soft density is maximized at the FCC lattice.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"On the optimality of the FCC lattice for soft sphere packing","publication":"SIAM J Discrete Math","article_processing_charge":"No","department":[{"_id":"HeEd"}],"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","external_id":{"isi":["000428958900038"]},"publication_identifier":{"issn":["08954801"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publisher":"Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics ","type":"journal_article","volume":32,"oa":1,"month":"03"}
