Small sets of even type in finite projective planes of even order (Q622550)

The code of a projective plane is generated by the incidence vectors of the lines of the plane. It is an important question to determine what the minimum weight of its dual code is and to determine the structure of the codewords with that weight. The authors presents a survey of the structure of the possible minimum weight vectors in the dual of the code. Specifically, small sets of even type in the dual code that could result in codewords with low weight are discussed.
