Abstract
The completeness of normal rational curves, considered as (q + 1)-arcs in PG(n, q), is investigated. Previous results of Storme and Thas are improved by using a result by Kovacs. This solves the problem completely for large prime numbers q and odd nonsquare prime powers q e p2h+1 with p prime, p\geq p_0(h), h\geq 1, where p0(h) is an odd prime number which depends on h.
