ON SOME PROJECTIVE PLANES OF FINITE ORDER

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In this work, construction methods of projective planes of order 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are examined. Informations about the obtaining of known four different planes of order 9 and non-existence of a projective plane of order 10 which is obtained according to computer based calculations are collected.

Keywords

• Key Words: projective plane, finite projective plane, projective plane of order n

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, ve 8 mertebeli projektif düzlemlerin kuruluş metotları incelenmiş, bunların tekliklerine karşılık 9. mertebeden bilinen 4 farklı düzlemin elde edilişi ve bilgisayar araştırmalarına dayalı olarak 10. mertebeden bir projektif düzlemin yokluğu hakkındaki bilgiler derlenerek bir araya getirilmiştir

Keywords

• projektif düzlem, sonlu projektif düzlem, n. mertebeden projektif düzlem
