Abstract: In a recent paper [M], Mathon gives a new construction of maximal arcs which generalizes the construction of Denniston. In relation to this construction, Mathon asks the question of determining the largest degree of a non-Denniston maximal arc arising from his new construction. In this paper, we give a nearly complete answer to this problem. Specifically, we prove that when $mgeq5$ and $meq9$, the largest $d$ of a non-Denniston maximal arc of degree $2^d$ in PG(2,2^m) generated by a {p,1}-map is $(floorm/2+1)$. This confirms our conjecture in [FLX]. For {p,q}-maps, we prove that if $mgeq7$ and $meq9$, then the largest $d$ of a non-Denniston maximal arc of degree $2^d$ in PG(2,2^m) generated by a {p,q}-map is either $floorm/2+1$ or $floorm/2+2$.
