A Linear Programming Algorithm to Test for Jamming in Hard-Sphere Packings

Jamming in hard-particle packings has been the subject of considerable ninterest in recent years. In a paper by Torquato and Stillinger [J. Phys. Chem. nB, 105 (2001)], a classification scheme of jammed packings into hierarchical ncategories of locally, collectively and strictly jammed configurations has been nproposed. They suggest that these jamming cat..
