I don't have a definite answer for you. Googling this question really only brings up theoretical math equations. If you are looking in real life, one place to start is looking at these toys:
Here is a baby toy called an Easy-Grasp ball.
And here is a furniture decoration, which is not soft and likely has no "give".
None of these is exactly what you are looking for, but I hope they help you or a later commenter to track it down further.
This was probably the best toy that we were gifted: the Oball
