Abstract
In this paper we study congruent and non-congruent hyperball (hypersphere) packings of the truncated regular tetrahedron tilings. These are derived from the Coxeter simplex tilings \(\{p,3,3\}\) \((7\le p \in \mathbb {N})\) and \(\{5,3,3,3,3\}\) in 3- and 5-dimensional hyperbolic space. We determine the densest hyperball packing arrangement and its density with congruent hyperballs in \(\mathbb {H}^5\) and determine the smallest density upper bounds of non-congruent hyperball packings generated by the above tilings in \(\mathbb {H}^n, (n=3,5)\).
