Abstract
In this paper we get necessary conditions for the existence of (k,n)-arcs K with the following property: Each point of K is incident with exactly m lines intersecting K in exactly m points. We prove that the set of tangent lines of such arcs forms an arc of the same type in the dual plane. Moreover we determine an upper bound for k for the existence of m-regular (k,n)-arcs.
