On Projective Planes of Type (5, m).
We study the finite projective planes with linear programming models. We give a complete description of the convex hull of the finite projective planes of order 2. We give some integer linear programming models whose solution are, either a finite projective (or affine) plane of order n, or a (n+2)-arc.
The aim of the paper is to give an effective formula for the calculation of the probability that a random subset of an affine geometry AG(r-1,q) has rank r. Tables for the probabilities are given for small ranks. The expected time to the first moment at which a random subset of an affine geometry achieves the rank r is derived.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05B25, 51E20.We survey the main results on ovoids and spreads, large maximal partial ovoids and large maximal partial spreads, and on small maximal partial ovoids and small maximal partial spreads in classical finite polar spaces. We also discuss the main results on the spectrum problem on maximal partial ovoids and maximal partial spreads in classical finite polar spaces.The research of the fourth author was also supported by the Project Combined algorithmic...
