The Hilbert function of general unions of lines and double lines in the projective space

Abstract: We study the Hilbert function of a general union

X s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{3}

of

x

double lines and

y

lines. In many cases (e.g. always for

x = 2

and

y g e 3

or for

x = 3

and

y g e 2

or for

x g e 4

and

) we prove that

X

has maximal rank. We give a few examples of

x

and

y

for which

X

has not maximal rank.
