A set S of k points in a projective plane of order q is of type (m, n) if each line meets S in either m or n points. The parameters are standard if q=a 2 for a=n&m. In this note we give a method for determining all admissible nonstandard parameters for a given m and q a prime power.

Denote by a(n) and p(n), respectively, the smallest positive integers ,I and p for which an &(2, n, n') and an S,,(2, n + 1, n2 + n + 1) exist. We thus consider the problem of the existence of (nontrivial) quasimultiples of atline and projective planes of arbitrary order n. The best previously known

## Abstract The functions __a(n)__ and __p(n)__ are defined to be the smallest integer λ for which λ‐fold quasimultiples affine and projective planes of order __n__ exist. It was shown by Jungnickel [J. Combin. Designs 3 (1995), 427–432] that __a(n),p(n)__ < __n__^10^ for sufficiently large __n__.

In this paper we investigate qz/4-sets of type (O,q/4,q/2) in projective planes of order q=O(mod4). These sets arise in the investigation of regular triples with respect to a hyperoval. Combinatorial properties of these sets are given and examples in Desarguesian projective planes are constructed.

We construct by computer all of the hyperovals in the 22 known projective planes of order 16. Our most interesting result is that four of the planes contain no hyperovals, thus providing counterexamples to the old conjecture that every finite projective plane contains an oval.

In this paper it is shown that given a non-degenerate elliptic quadric in the projective space PG(2n -1, q), q odd, then there does not exist a spread of PG(2n -1, q) such that each element of the spread meets the quadric in a maximal totally singular subspace. An immediate consequence is that the c
