Hello,

Given an ellipsoid (center, and 3 radii), I want to cover it
"reasonable" well, with a "reasonable" number of spheres.

I can obviously take the sphere with the largest of the radii of the
ellipsoid, but this is a bad approximation if one of the other two
radii is small.

Any hint to a publication or boiler plate code is welcome,

andreas
