Geometrically L^p-optimal lines of vertices of an equilateral triangle

We consider the distances between a line and a set of points in the plane defined by the L^p-norms of the vector consisting of the euclidian distance between the single points and the line. We determine lines with minimal geometric L^p-distance to the vertices of an equilateral triangle for all 1<= p<=\infty. The investigation of the L^p-distances for p\ne 1,2,\infty establishes the passage between the well-known sets of optimal lines for p=1,2,\infty. The set of optimal lines consists of three lines each parallel to one of the triangle sides for 1<= p < 4/3 and 2
