✦ Synopsis

We obtain lower bounds for the size of a double blocking set in the Desarguesian projective plane PG(2, q). These bounds are best possible for q Ͻ 11 and in the case q is a square. With the same technique we also exclude certain values for the size of an ordinary minimal blocking set.

We prove that the number of directions determined by a set of p points in AG(2, p), p prime, cannot be between ( p+3)Â2 and ( p&1)Â2+ 1 3 -p. This is equivalent to saying that besides the projective triangle, every blocking set of Re dei type in PG(2, p) has size at least 3( p&1)Â2+ 1 3 -p.

## Abstract In a previous paper 1, all point sets of minimum size in __PG__(2,__q__), blocking all external lines to a given irreducible conic ${\cal C}$, have been determined for every odd __q__. Here we obtain a similar classification for those point sets of minimum size, which meet every externa

Let v, k be positive integers and k ≥ 3, then K k = {v : v ≥ k} is a 3-BD closed set. Two finite generating sets of 3-BD closed sets K 4 and K 5 are obtained by H. Hanani [5] and Qiurong Wu [12] respectively. In this article we show that if v ≥ 6, then v ∈ B 3 (K, 1), where K = {6, 7, . . . , 41, 45
