About convex 4-isosceles 7-point sets (Q1033993)

A finite set in \({\mathbb R}^2\) is said to be \(k\)-\textit{isosceles} for \(k\geq 3\) if every \(k\)-point subset of the set includes a \(3\)-point subset which forms an isosceles triangle. Let \(R_n\) denote the set of vertices of a regular convex \(n\)-gon. The authors offer the following two results: {\parindent5mm \begin{itemize}\item[1.] Let \(P\) be \(R_7\) minus a point. There exists only one convex \(4\)-isosceles \(7\)-point set which contains \(P\). \item[2.] There are infinitely many non-similar convex \(4\)-isosceles \(7\)-point sets containing \(R_5\). \end{itemize}}
