Constructions of Large m-Distance Sets on Triangular Lattice

Abstract

An $m$-distance set is a collection of points such that the distances between any two points have $m$ possible values. We use two different methods to construct large $m$-distance sets on the triangular lattices. One is to use the first m smallest distances and find the largest cliques, and the other is using the notions of hexagons. Multiplicities of the distances were observed for comparison for the two methods.
