Interesting problem.	by Arachnid	2007-07-29 17:03:51
thanks	by dennismv	2007-07-29 17:29:27
I'm after the actual points. As in, you can't create new points, you have to use the existing ones. Keeping that in mind, yes, I'm after exact best existing points. There is one more desirable requirement: minimize the amount of circle overlaps. I'd like this one to take priority over minimizing the number of circles. Approximation is what I may have to go with as it's easier to program. In general random distribution case I suppose a naive algorithm may work okay. In fact thanks ! -- I didn't think of the naive algorithm even though look how simple it is ! I suppose there could also be a heuristic or two that can make approximations closer to the optimal solution.
