On the stability of sets of even type (Q462292)

In this article, the authors focus on the stability theorem of sets of even type in \(\mathrm{PG}(2,q)\) when \(q\) is even. The authors improve the results of \textit{A. Blokhuis} and \textit{A. A. Bruen} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 50, No. 2, 308--315 (1989; Zbl 0682.51003)] which are about being a hyperoval for the sets of size \(q+2\) up to sets of size \(q+m\). They also give some interesting combinatoric results.
