The function f(n) giving the side length of the smallest square into which n unit squares (often required axis-parallel) can be packed: exact values (e.g. f(k^2) = k), bounds at n = k^2 + c, and asymptotic behavior. Claims computing or bounding this packing constant belong here; other geometric packing problems and general discrete geometry do not.

For k≥1 and integer c with k^2+2c+1≥1, f(k^2+2c+1) ≤ k + c/k.
