A system of circles is said to form a k-fold packing of the plane if every point of the plane is an interior point of at most k circles. In this paper we consider only lattice packings, that is, we suppose that the centers of the circles form a lattice. We further restrict our consideration to circles of equal radius. Without loss of generality, the circles may have unit radius.
