Base sizes for sporadic simple groups

Let G be a permutation group acting on a set . A subset of is a base for G if its pointwise stabilizer in G is trivial. We write b(G) for the minimal size of a base for G. We determine the precise value of b(G) for every primitive almost simple sporadic group G, with the exception of two cases in...
