A solution is described of the Ginzburg-Landau equations of the Abrikosov type for a homogeneous type II superconductor just below the upper critical field. This solution is characterized by magnetic field maxima corresponding to an equilateral triangular lattice and a value BETA = 1.16 of Abrikosov's parameter. Abrikosov,s squarelattice solution with BETA = 1.18 has a higher free energy and is unstable with respect to the triangular lattlce solution. (auth)
