This problem was initially posed by Nandakumar [17, 22] and was first studied by Kiss, Pach, and Somlai [13], who showed that if Δ′ is the smallest area isosceles triangle containing Δ, then Δ′ and Δ share a side and an angle. In the present paper, we prove that for any triangle Δ, every maximum area isosceles triangle embedded in Δ and every maximum perimeter isosceles triangle embedded in Δ shares a side and an angle with Δ. Somewhat surprisingly, the case of minimum perimeter enclosing triangles is different: there are infinite families of triangles Δ whose minimum perimeter isosceles containers do not share a side and an angle with Δ."}],"publication":"International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science","citation":{"mla":"Ambrus, Áron, et al. “Optimal Embedded and Enclosing Isosceles Triangles.” International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, vol. 34, no. 7, World Scientific Publishing, 2023, pp. 737–60, doi:10.1142/S012905412342008X.","ieee":"Á.
