....a 12b, then the number of distinct vertices of A(L) is at least cm , for an appropriate constant c. Proof: By applying a suitable projective transformation to the plane, we may assume that no two lines in L are parallel. Similar to (4) and the proof of Lemma 4. 10, it has been shown in [15] (see also [10] that, in an arrangement of m lines, the number of vertices incident to at least k lines is at most b(m=k m =k ) for an appropriate absolute constant b. The number Q of pairs of crossing lines is, by assumption, Gamma m . Hence, denoting by w k (resp. wk ) the number ....

In this paper we study the problem of computing A(L; P ) that is, for each cell C 2 A(L; P ) we want return the vertices of C in, say, clockwise order. We will refer to the cells of A(L; P ) as A part of this work was done while the first and third authors were visiting Charles University ....

Erdos found an upper bound of O(n 3=2 ) and a lower bound of Omega Gamma n 1 c= log log n ) Szemeredi and Trotter [ST83] reduced the upper bound to O(n 4=3 ) Later results [CEG 90, Sz e97] reduced the constants and simplified the proof considerably. The lower bound remains unimproved and is conjectured to be tight. A noisy version of the above problem was posed and solved by Erdos et al. in 1991: Theorem ....
