This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and contains an entirely new chapter on blocking sets in linear spaces, including some of the most important applications, from the initial game-theoretic setting to their recent use in cryptography.
This 1994 text covers finite linear spaces. It contains all the important results that had been published up to the time of publication, and is designed to be used not only as a resource for researchers in this and related areas, but also as a graduate-level text.
