Conjecturally optimal coverings of an equilateral triangle with up to 36 equal circles. (English) Zbl 0986.52011

Exp. Math. 9, No. 2, 241-250 (2000).
Author’s abstract: This paper presents a computational method to find good, conjecturally optimal coverings of an equilateral triangle with equal circles. Best found coverings with up to 36 circles are displayed, 19 of which are either new or improve on earlier published coverings.
