Abstract
AbstractLet Q be a non‐degenerate quadric defined by a quadratic form in the finite projective space PG(d,q). Let r be the dimension of the generators of Q. For all k with 2 ≤ k < r we determine the smallest cardinality of a set B of points with the property that every subspace of dimension k that is contained in Q meets B. It turns out that the smallest examples consist of the non‐singular points of quadrics S ∩ Q for suitable subspaces S of codimension k of PG(d,q). For k = 1, the same result was known before. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 11: 317–338, 2003; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
