Minimal Covers of Q +(2n + 1, q) by (n − 1)-Dimensional Subspaces

A t-cover of a quadric is a set C of t-dimensional subspaces contained in such that every point of is contained in at least one element of C.We consider (n – 1)-covers of the hyperbolic quadric Q ⁺(2n + 1, q). We show that such a cover must have at least q ^{n + 1} + 2q + 1 elements, give an example of this size for even q and describe what covers of this size should look like.     

Universal Sets of n Points for One-bend Drawings of Planar Graphs with n Vertices

This paper shows that any planar graph with n vertices can be point-set embedded with at most one bend per edge on a universal set of n points in the plane. An implication of this result is that any number of planar graphs admit a simultaneous embedding without mapping with at most one bend per edge.

Rigid Sets of Dimension n – 1 in ℝ n

We give conditions allowing an intrinsic isometry on a dense subset to be extended to an isometry of the whole set. This enables us to find examples of (n-1)-dimensional sets rigid in ⁿ .     

Overgroups of SU(n,K, f) or Ω(n,K, Q) in GL(n,K)

Sets of Minimality of (1 − 1)-Rational Functions

We describe dynamical systems associated to (1 ? 1)-rational functions on the field of p-adic numbers.We focus on sets of minimality of such systems.     

On the Evaluation of the Tutte Polynomial at the Points (1, –1) and (2, –1)

Motivated by the identity t (K _n+2; 1, –1) = t (K _n ; 2, –1), where t(G; x, y) is the Tutte polynomial of a graph G, we search for graphs G having the property that there is a pair of vertices u, v such that t(G; 1, –1) = t(G – {u, v}; 2, –1). Our main result gives a sufficient condition for a graph to have this property; moreover, it describes the graphs for which the property still holds when each vertex is replaced by a clique or a coclique of arbitrary order. In particular, we show that the property holds for the class of threshold graphs, a well-studied class of perfect graphs.     

Sets of Type (a, b) From Subgroups of ΓL(1, pR)

In this paper k-sets of type (a, b) with respect to hyperplanes are constructed in finite projective spaces using powers of Singer cycles. These are then used to construct further examples of sets of type (a, b) using various disjoint sets. The parameters of the associated strongly regular graphs are also calculated. The construction technique is then related to work of Foulser and Kallaher classifying rank three subgroups of AL(1, p ^R). It is shown that the sets of type (a, b) arising from the Foulser and Kallaher construction in the case of projective spaces are isomorphic to some of those constructed in the present paper.

On 1-Blocking Sets in PG(n,q), n ≥ 3

In this article we study minimal1-blocking sets in finite projective spaces _PG(n,q),n 3. We prove that in PG(n,q ²),q = p ^h , p prime, p > 3,h 1, the second smallest minimal 1-blockingsets are the second smallest minimal blocking sets, w.r.t.lines, in a plane of PG(n,q ²). We also study minimal1-blocking sets in PG(n,q ³), n 3, q = p ^h, p prime, p > 3,q 5, and prove that the minimal 1-blockingsets of cardinality at most q 3 + q ² + q + ¹ are eithera minimal blocking set in a plane or a subgeometry PG(3,q).

Blocking Sets in (υ,{2, 4}, 1)-Designs

The existence of blocking sets in (, {2, 4}, 1)-designs is examined. We show that for 0, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 (mod 12>), blocking sets cannot exist. We prove that for each 1, 2, 4 (mod 12) there is a (, {2, 4}, 1)-design with a blocking set with three possible exceptions. The case 10 (mod 12) is still open; we consider the first four values of in this situation.     

Linear Point Sets and Rédei Type k-blocking Sets in PG(n, q)

In this paper, k-blocking sets in PG(n, q), being of Rédei type, are investigated. A standard method to construct Rédei type k-blocking sets in PG(n, q) is to construct a cone having as base a Rédei type k-blocking set in a subspace of PG(n, q). But also other Rédei type k-blocking sets in PG(n, q), which are not cones, exist. We give in this article a condition on the parameters of a Rédei type k-blocking set of PG(n, q = p ^h ), p a prime power, which guarantees that the Rédei type k-blocking set is a cone. This condition is sharp. We also show that small Rédei type k-blocking sets are linear.
