The logarithmic upper-bound conjecture for complete arcs in projective planes

Let PG(2,q)PG(2,q) be the projective plane of order qq, and let t2(2,q)t_{2}(2,q) denote the smallest size of a complete arc in PG(2,q)PG(2,q). The logarithmic upper-bound conjecture. In PG(2,q)PG(2,q),

t2(2,q)<qln0.75qfor q23.t_{2}(2,q)<\sqrt{q}\ln ^{0.75}q\quad \text{for }q\geq 23.

This conjecture proposes an asymptotic upper bound for the smallest complete arc, improving the known general bounds up to logarithmic factors. The supplied source gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
