A computer search of maximal partial spreads in PG(3,q)

Combinatorics 2011-11-15 v2

Abstract

In this work we find new minimum sizes for the maximal partial spreads of PG(3,q)(3,q), for q=8,9,16q=8,9,16 and for every qq such that 25q10125\leq q\leq 101. Furthermore, for q=8,9,16,25q=8,9,16,25 and 27 we find all the unknown sizes between our minimums and the value q2q+2q^{2}-q+2. Moreover, we obtain density results also in the cases q=19q=19 and q=23q=23, already studied but not yet completed. Finally, we find the known exceptional size 45 for q=7q=7.
