A lattice packing approach to an industrial cutting problem

The thesis considers the action of the WI, and W2 wallpaper groups on a shape which is homeomorphic to the unit disc. A WI group is said to be optimal for a given shape if its action on the shape produces a packing which is at least as dense as any other WI packing. It is proved that for a given sha...
