The known examples of embedded unitals (i.e. Hermifian arcs) in PG(2, qZ) are B-unitals, i.e. they can be obtained from ovoids of PG(3, q) by a method due to Buekenhout. B-unitals arising from elliptic quadrics are called BM-unitals. Recently, BM-unitals have been classified and their collineation g

A condition is found that determines whether a polynomial over GF(q) gives an oval in PG(2, q), q even. This shows that the set of all ovals of PG(2, q) corresponds to a certain variety of points of PG((q -4)/2, q). The condition improves upon that of Segre and Bartocci, who proved that all the term
## Abstract The size of large minimal blocking sets is bounded by the BruenβThas upper bound. The bound is sharp when __q__ is a square. Here the bound is improved if __q__ is a nonβsquare. On the other hand, we present some constructions of reasonably large minimal blocking sets in planes of nonβp
