Abstract

A 22-semiarc is a pointset Sk{\mathcal S}_k with the property that the number of tangent lines to Sk{\mathcal S}_k at each of its points is two. Using some theoretical results and computer aided search, the complete classification of 22-semiarcs in PG(2,q)(2,q) is given for q7,q\leq 7, the spectrum of their sizes is determined for q9q\leq 9, and some results about the existence are proven for q=11q=11 and q=13.q=13. For several sizes of 22-semiarcs in PG(2,q)\mathrm{PG}(2,q), q7q\leq 7, classification results have been obtained by theoretical proofs.
