description

A t-cover of the finite projective space PG(d,q) is a setS of t-dimensional subspaces such that any point of PG(d,q) is contained in at least one element ofS. In Theorem 1 a lower bound for the cardinality of a t-coverS in PG(d,q) is obtained and in Theorem 2 it is shown that this bound is best possible for all positive integers t,d and for any prime-power q.
