TL;DR: In this article, linear systems and their order sequences for an algebraic curve over a finite field are used to obtain upper bounds on the size of a complete arc in a finite projective plane.

TL;DR: The tangent set of a given point set of PG( n, q) is defined and the tangent sets of hyperplanes, arcs, quadrics and Hermitian varieties are investigated.
