Random constructions and density results (Q1009013)

In this study authors outline a construction method which has been used for minimal blocking sets in \(PG(2, q)\) and maximal partial line spreads in \(PG(n, q)\) and which must have a lot of more applications. They also give a survey on what is known about the spectrum of sizes of maximal partial line spreads in \(PG(n, q)\). At the end they list some more elaborate random techniques used in finite geometry.
