Papers by David Glynn
Segre discovered the oval polynomials x^(2^k) where (k,h)=1 and x^6 where (h,2)=1.
These new "Glynn" hyperovals were also "monomial" hyper ovals with the polynomial being a single power of x. They were discovered by computer search up to about h=28 and each one took a month of serious hand calculation to rigorously prove. These four monomial hyperoval sequences are still the only known ones.
