We obtain them by depriving a spread of a hyperplane of some lines and adding $q+1$ lines not of the hyperplane for each removed line. We do this in a theoretic way for every value of $q$, and by a computer search for $q$ an odd prime and $q \\leq 13$. More precisely we prove that for every $q$ there are $q$-added maximal partial spreads from the size $q^2+q+1$ to the size $q^2+(q-1)q+1$, while by a computer search we get larger cardinalities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-01-22T21:10:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51E14" ], "keywords": [ "added maximal partial spreads", "computer search", "hyperplane", "theoretic way", "odd prime" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1011.5642R" } } }
