Spectrum conjecture for complete arcs in projective planes
Spectrum conjecture for complete arcs in projective planes
Let be the projective plane of order , let be the smallest known size of a complete arc, and let be the upper endpoint defined in the source: for even , ; for odd , in the stated congruence ranges and otherwise . A complete -arc is a complete arc with points. Spectrum conjecture. Let be an odd prime. Then in there are complete -arcs of all the sizes in the region
Moreover, complete -arcs with
can be obtained by the randomized greedy algorithms of the cited works with a new approach to creation of starting data. The claim is presented as a computational prediction for the indicated finite range; the supplied text gives no resolution status beyond the source's assertion.
