Abstract: A compact circle-packing of the Euclidean plane is a set of circles which bound mutually disjoint open discs with the property that, for every circle , there exists a maximal indexed set so that, for every , the circle is tangent to both circles and We show that there exist at most pairs with for which there exist a compact circle-packing of the plane consisting of circles with radii , and . We discuss computing the exact values of such as roots of polynomials and exhibit a selection of compact circle-packings consisting of circles of three radii. We also discuss the apparent infeasibility of computing emph{all} these values on contemporary consumer hardware with the methods employed in this paper.
