A dual blocking set is a set of points which meets every blocking set but contains no line. We establish a lower bound for the cardinality of such a set, and characterize sets meeting the bound, in projective and affine planes. A blocking set for a family ~-of sets is a set which meets every member

In this paper we show that blocking sets of cardinality less than 3(q ϩ 1)/2 (q ϭ p n ) in Desarguesian projective planes intersect every line in 1 modulo p points. It is also shown that the cardinality of a blocking set must lie in a few relatively short intervals. This is similar to previous resul

## Abstract Let __S__ be a blocking set in an inversive plane of order __q__. It was shown by Bruen and Rothschild 1 that |__S__| ≥ 2__q__ for __q__ ≥ 9. We prove that if __q__ is sufficiently large, __C__ is a fixed natural number and |__S__ = 2__q__ + __C__, then roughly 2/3 of the circles of the
