Sažetak
After having investigated the geodesic ball packings in
$\mathbf{S}^2\!\times\!\mathbf{R}$
space we consider the analogous problem in
$\mathbf{H}^2\!\times\!\mathbf{R}$
space from among the eight Thurston geometries.
In this paper, we determine the geodesic balls of
$\mathbf{H}^2\!\times\!\mathbf{R}$
space and compute their volume,define the notion of the geodesic ball packing and its density.
Moreover, we develop a procedure to determine the density of the geodesic ball packing for generalized Coxeter space groups of
$\mathbf{H}^2\!\times\!\mathbf{R}$
and apply this algorithm to them.
E. Molnár showed that the homogeneous 3-spaces
have a unified interpretation in the projective 3-sphere
$\mathcal{PS}^3(\mathbf{V}^4,\boldsymbol{V}_4, \mathbf{R})$.
In our work we will use this projective model of
$\mathbf{H}^2\!\times\!\mathbf{R}$
geometry and in this manner the geodesic lines, geodesic spheres can be visualized on the Euclidean screen of computer.
