Maximal image-arcs in image Original Research Article

In this paper we show, using a computer-based search exploiting relations of inclusion between arcs and image-arcs and projective equivalence properties, that the largest size of a complete image-arc in image is 23 and that only seven non-equivalent image-arcs exist. From this result, we deduce the non-existence of some image linear codes and bounds on the minimum distance of some image linear codes. Moreover, we determine the spectrum of the sizes of the complete image-arcs in image and the classification of the smallest complete image-arcs.
