On large complete arcs: ood case

Abstract

An approach for the computation of upper bounds on the size of large complete arcs is presented. We obtain in particular geometrical properties of irreducible envelopes associated to a second largest complete arc provided that the order of the underlying field is large enough. We use Stoehr-Voloch's approach to the Hasse-Weil bound for rational points of curves defined over finite fields
