Heilbronn problem for five points

Abstract

Put 5 points in a unit square, then there must be at least one triangle, formed by three of these points, with an area not greater than {radical}3/9. And the upper bound {radical}3/9 is the best. Unexpectedly, this disproves an old conjecture posed twenty years ago. (author). 15 refs, 19 figs.
