Abstract

We propose the concepts of almost complete subset of an elliptic quadric in the projective space PG(3, q) and of almost complete cap in the space PG(N, q), N ≥ 3, as generalizations of the concepts of almost complete subset of a conic and of almost complete arc in PG(2, q). Upper bounds of the smallest size of the introduced geometrical objects are obtained by probabilistic and algorithmic methods.
