# Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences! http://oeis.org/ Search: id:a121603 Showing 1-1 of 1 %I A121603 #7 Aug 13 2020 14:25:50 %S A121603 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11 %N A121603 Numbers n such that the radius of the smallest circle into which n unit circles can be packed is 1 + csc(Pi/k), where k >= 2 is an integer. %C A121603 Corresponding k values are in A121604. For these n, the centers of k unit circles can form a regular k-gon with sides of length 2 centered at the center of the larger circle. From the diagrams in the link it appears likely that 13,18,19 are the next three terms. %H A121603 E.
