Re: [math-fun] pizza packing

I love that m=n sequence 2, 2, 1.942, 1.997, 1.951, 2, 1.942,...

it's unlikely the values are the best possible for n>=6.

Are the exact polynomials available?

for n=4, s=1+cos(t)-sin(t)+tan(t) at the t value that minimizes s. for n=5 and n=6, they were computed by david cantrell, and i have a mathematica notebook that probably contains some clue, but i'm afraid i can't decipher it. i'll be glad to e-mail it to you if you want. erich
