Ellipse packing in two-dimensional cell tessellation: a theoretical explanation for Lewis’s law and Aboav-Weaire’s law

Background Lewis’s law and Aboav-Weaire’s law are two fundamental laws used to describe the topology of two-dimensional (2D) structures; however, their theoretical bases remain unclear. Methods We used R software with the Conicfit package to fit ellipses based on the geometric parameters of polygona...
