Abstract
A conjecture is formulated for an upper bound on the number of points in PG ( 2 , q ) of a plane curve without linear components, defined over GF ( q ) . We prove a new bound which is half-way from the known bound to the conjectured one. The conjecture is true for curves of low or high degree, or with rational singularity.
