New sizes of complete arcs in PG(2,q)

Abstract

New upper bounds on the smallest size t_{2}(2,q) of a complete arc in the projective plane PG(2,q) are obtained for 853<= q<= 2879 and q=3511,4096, 4523,5003,5347,5641,5843,6011. For q<= 2377 and q=2401,2417,2437, the relation t_{2}(2,q)<4.5\sqrt{q} holds. The bounds are obtained by finding of new small complete arcs with the help of computer search using randomized greedy algorithms. Also new sizes of complete arcs are presented.Comment: 10 page
