Jan 21, 2020 at 11:20 comment added leopold.talirz Regarding your "simple observation", I think you meant to say: [...] all circles of radius $d/2$ [...] square of length $1+d$ [...].

Jan 24, 2019 at 23:32 comment added Josiah Park Yes. The two are equivalent. The initial answer began to give an argument for why so, but later a reference was found for it. To clarify, your problem is equivalent to packing identical (hyper)spheres in a (hyper)cube.
Jan 24, 2019 at 23:26 comment added leopold.talirz One question of clarification: You explain how the sphere-packing problem and the maxmin problem are related but section 2 of this reference states that they are equivalent(?). Can I get the maxmin solution from a densest packing of spheres?
Jan 24, 2019 at 23:15 comment added Josiah Park 'Diversity' is not a term oft used to describe these types of problems. It is possible this question might have been answered quicker if it had been phrased slightly differently.
Jan 24, 2019 at 23:08 comment added leopold.talirz Since I was interested more in the general case (k not necessarily large), I found your Locatelli & Szabó references particularly useful. I'll wait a little more before accepting this as the answer.

incorrectly worded non-lattice packing comment and changed value to $d=10$
