$(n-2)$-blocking sets in $AG(n,2)$

Not much is known for the general case. Let $m(k, n, q)$ denote the minimum size of an $k$-blocking set in $AG(n, q)$. Trivially we have $m(0, n, q) = q^n$ and $m(n, n, q) = 1$. By Jamison/Brouwer-S …

Blocking sets in three dimensional finite affine spaces

Here is an improvement of the upper bound which I found in ``The polynomial method in Galois geometries'' by Simeon Ball. See page number 4. The known constructions are somewhat crude. For exampl …

On MDS code property

It has been proved by Simeon Ball that for $k \leq p$, all $[n, k, n-k+1]_q$ codes are Reed-Solomon codes, where $q = p^h$. See Corollary 9.2 in the following paper: Ball, S. On sets of vectors of a …

Covering all, but $k$ points with affine subspaces

Here are some partial answers to your question. Let $A = A_1 \times \dots \times A_n \subseteq F^n$ be a finite grid. Alon and Furedi proved that you need at least $\sum (\# A - 1)$ hyperplanes to …

Are bipartite Moore graphs Hamiltonian?

This recent paper of Sato and Suzuki shows that the graphs corresponding to some classical generalized quadrangles are indeed Hamiltonian: Sato, H. & Suzuki, H. Graphs and Combinatorics (2018). http …
