 Title: A Necessary and Sufficient Condition for the Existence of an (n,r)-arc in PG(2,q) and Its Applications Authors: Hamada, NoboruMaruta, TatsuyaOya, Yusuke Keywords: (n, r)-arcsProjective PlaneLinear Codes Issue Date: 2012 Publisher: Institute of Mathematics and Informatics Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Citation: Serdica Journal of Computing, Vol. 6, No 3, (2012), 253p-266p Abstract: Let q be a prime or a prime power ≥ 3. The purpose of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an (n, r)-arc in PG(2, q ) for given integers n, r and q using the geometric structure of points and lines in PG(2, q ) for n > r ≥ 3. Using the geometric method and a computer, it is shown that there exists no (34, 3) arc in PG(2, 17), equivalently, there exists no [34, 3, 31] 17 code.
