Extract

Let be a set of points on a sphere, centre O, radius R, in (n+1)– dimensional space. Suppose a spherical cap of angular radius α≤½π is centred at each point of . Let k be a positive integer and suppose that no point of the sphere is an inner point of more than k caps. We say that provides a k–fold packing for caps of radius α.
