## Abstract A new family of small complete caps in __PG__(__N__,__q__), __q__ even, is constructed. Apart from small values of either __N__ or __q__, it provides an improvement on the currently known upper bounds on the size of the smallest complete cap in __PG__(__N__,__q__): for __N__ even, the l

β¦ Synopsis
Storme, L., J.A. Thas, Complete k-arcs in PG(n, q), q even, Discrete Mathematics 106/107 (1992) 455-469. This paper investigates the completeness of k-arcs in PG(n, q), q even. We determine all values of k for which there exists a complete k-arc in PG(n, q), q -2 2 n > q -G/2 -y. This is proven by using the duality principle between k-arcs in PG(n, q) and dual k-arcs in PG(k -n -2, q) (k 3 n + 4). The theorems show that the classification of all complete k-arcs in PG(n, q), q even and q -2 Z= n > q -G/2 -2, is closely related to the classification of all (q +2)-arcs in PG(2, q).

## Abstract Some new families of small complete caps in __PG__(__N, q__), __q__ even, are described. By using inductive arguments, the problem of the construction of small complete caps in projective spaces of arbitrary dimensions is reduced to the same problem in the plane. The caps constructed in
The automorphism group of the set of 12 points associated with an apolar system of conics is determined. A complete (q -&arc for q = 13 can be obtained as a special case. The orbits of its automorphism group are also described. 0 I Y Y ~ John Wile?. & Sons, h e .
