Abstract

AbstractIn a finite Desarguesian plane of odd order, it was shown by Segre thirty years ago that a set of maximum size with at most two points on a line is a conic. Here, in a plane of odd or even order, sufficient conditions are given for a set with at most three points on a line to be a cubic curve. The case of an elliptic curve is of particular interest.
