Abstract

We study the Hilbert function of a general union XP3X\subset \mathbb{P}^3 of xx double lines and yy lines. In many cases (e.g. always for x=2x=2 and y3y\ge 3 or for x=3x=3 and y2y\ge 2 or for x4x\ge 4 and y((3x+43)27x12)/(3x+2)+3xy\ge \lceil(\binom{3x+4}{3} -27x-12)/(3x+2)\rceil +3-x) we prove that XX has maximal rank. We give a few examples of xx and yy for which XX has not maximal rank.
