Blocking sets in ... Explanation: I'm with phil that it doesn't really matter. (Although: In doesn't mean "in relation to" here as the quadric is a line/surface/etc and the blocking set is a set of points within that line/surface/etc, so it really is "in") I think there is a slight difference, but I'm having trouble framing it in words, and in any case I don't think a reader would even notice. Something like, "of" is suitable if the blocking sets are being considered as properties of the quadric: e.g. if you are talking about how to calculate all the blocking sets in/of a particular quadric. Since "in" is also fine here, just stick with it. (NB: Although there are ghits for "blocking sets of quadrics", most of them are referring to the same paper, written by a German author) |
