Error and attack vulnerability of Apollonian networks

Computer/law journal
This article examines the resilience of different Apollonian network (AN) types—deterministic, random, and evolutionary—to systematic attacks. ANs, members of the family of maximal planar graphs, possess unique properties such as high clustering ...

Fluid flow through Apollonian packings

Physical Review E, 2010
This work considers the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a two-dimensional channel filled with an array of obstacles of distinct sizes that models an inhomogeneous medium. Obstacle sizes and positions are defined by the geometry of an Apollonian packing (AP).

Length and Area of an Apollonian Packing

Mathematics Magazine
Summary We prove two theorems about the circular Apollonian packing. The first states that the circles used in the packing have an infinite total length. The second states that the largest circle is covered by the other circles used in the packing, up to

A Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna Based on Apollonian Gasket of Circles

2024 IEEE Microwaves, Antennas, and Propagation Conference (MAPCON)
First time a cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) is proposed for wide bandwidth and compact size based on the Apollonian gasket of circles. First, a cylindrical DRA is designed to resonate at 1.78GHz by exciting $\mathrm{HEM}_{11 \delta}$ mode.

Conformality of the Apollonian Metric

Computational Methods and Function Theory, 2004
Let \(D\) be a domain in \(\overline{\mathbb{R}^n}=\mathbb{R}^n\cup \{\infty\},\;n\geq 2\), and let \(x,y\in D\). The Apollonian distance of \(x,y\) is defined by \[ \alpha(x,y):=\max_{w,z\in\partial D}\log \frac{| x-w| \;| y-z| }{| x-z| \;| y-w| }. \] The author introduces the quantity \[ H_D(x):=\frac{\limsup_{y\to x}(\alpha(y,x)/\chi(y,x))}{\liminf_{

Apollonian and Dionysian

2010
Since Friedrich Nietzsche discussed the Apollonian-Dionysian dichotomy in his The Birth of Tragedy, the dichotomy has been extensively applied by philosophers, by theologians, and especially by literary critics to discussions of an essential conflict between two human impulses or ideals symbolized by Apollo and Dionysus in Greek mythology.

Apollonian Circle Packings

2015
Circle packings are a particularly elegant and simple way to construct quite complicated and elaborate sets in the plane. One systematically constructs a countable family of tangent circles whose radii tend to zero. Although there are many problems in understanding all of the individual values of their radii, there is a particularly simple asymptotic ...
