Abstract

We determine the Desarguesian planes which hold rr-nets with ovals and those which hold rr-nets with hyperovals for every r7r \le 7.

21 pages, LaTeX. We have added a three-page section 6 (with non-existence results). We have also made explicit that ovals of Desarguesian nets are ``affinely equivalent'' under certain assumptions
