Symmetry
Symmetry
Mirror symmetric (group D1, order 2). (Friedman's page says: horizontally symmetric.)
Minimal triangles
4 triangles tied (within relative 10−9) at the minimal area, in 2 congruence classes:
| count | side lengths | triangles (point indices) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 0.5605 · 0.6295 · 0.9352 |
(0,1,2) (0,2,3) | |
| 2 | 0.5605 · 0.8902 · 1.3532 |
(0,3,4) (1,2,4) |
Provenance
- Proved optimal by Royce Peng, 1989.
- One of an infinite family of solutions.
- Coordinates reconstructed by local optimization:
heilbronn-site reconstruct/reconstruct.py— reconstructed by local optimization; matches published value 0.171+ and symmetry (Mirror symmetric). - Verified in exact arithmetic: all 10 triples enumerated, 4 tied at the minimum.
- Friedman's page lists:
A = 3 - 2√2 = .171+.
