Abstract

We study the finite projective planes with linear programmingmodels. We give a complete description of the convex hull of thefinite projective planes of order 2. We give some integer linearprogramming models whose solution are, either a finiteprojective (or affine) plane of order n, or a (n+2)-arc.
