Multiple blocking sets and arcs in finite planes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper contains two main results relating to the size of a multiple blocking set in PG(2, q). The first gives a very general lower bound, the second a much better lower bound for prime planes. The latter is used to consider maximum sizes of (k, n)-arcs in PG(2, 11) and PG(2, 13), some of which are determined. In addition, a summary is given of the value of mn(2, q) for q ≤ 13.

Blocking Sets , k - Arcs and Nets of Order Ten
Our first main objective here is to unify two important theories in finite geometries, namely, the theories of k-arcs and blocking sets. This has a number of consequences, which we develop elsewhere. However,one consequence that we do discuss here is an improvement of Bruck’s bound [ l] concerning the possibility of embedment of finite nets of order II, in the controversial case when n = 10. Th...

We prove that unital-derived ðq qþ 1Þ-arcs of PGð2; qÞ still yield complete arcs after multiple derivation with respect to disjoint derivation sets on a given line.
متن کاملTwo Remarks on Blocking Sets and Nuclei in Planes of Prime Order
In this paper we characterize a sporadic non-Rédei type blocking set of PG(2, 7) having minimum cardinality, and derive an upper bound for the number of nuclei of sets in PG(2, q) having less than q + 1 points. Our methods involve polynomials over finite fields, and work mainly for planes of prime order.
متن کاملOn small complete arcs in a finite plane
Recent results on blocking sets are applied to the bisecants of a small complete arc, since these lines form a dual blocking set. It is shown that such blocking sets yield a lacunary polynomial of specific type. This leads to an improvement to the lower bound of the existence of a complete k-arc when the order of the plane is a square prime.

This note is a short conceptual elaboration of the conjecture of Saniga et al (J. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. 6 (2004) L19-L20) by regarding a set of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in a d-dimensional Hilbert space as an analogue of an arc in a (finite) projective plane of order d. Complete sets of MUBs thus correspond to (d+1)-arcs, i.e., ovals. In the Desarguesian case, the existence of two pri...
