Title: Triangles in convex polygons. (In English)
Source: Geombinatorics 2, No.4, 72-74 (1993).
Review: The authors pose the following ``maximin'' problem.
Determine \Delta (n,k): = max (max \Delta (V)). Here V is a finite set of n+k points in the Euclidean plane such that the convex hull conv V of V has area 1 and n points of V are vertices of conv V, the other k points lying in the interior of conv V. max \Delta (V) denotes the minimum area of a triangle with vertices in V, and the maximum is taken over all such sets V.
