The generalized quadrangle
Q(4,q)
arising from the parabolic quadric in
PG(4,q)
always has an ovoid. It is not known whether a
minimal blocking set of size smaller than
q
(which is not an ovoid) exists in
2
+ q
Q(4,q), q
odd. We present results on smallest blocking
sets in
Q(4,q), q
odd, obtained by a computer search. For
q = 5,7,9,11
we found minimal blocking sets of size
q
and we discuss their structure. By an exhaustive
search we excluded the existence of a minimal blocking set
of size
2
+ q - 2
q
in
2
+ 3
Q(4,7)

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
