چکیده
We show that an arrangement A of n lines in general position in the plane with n ≥ 3 has an inducing polygon of size n. The proof is constructive, that is we describe an algorithm that constructs a simple ngon inducing A.

Every Simple Arrangement of n Lines Contains an Inducing Simple n-gon
We show that for any arrangement A of n lines in general position in the plane there exists a simple closed polygon with n edges having the property that every edge of the polygon lies on a distinct line of A.
متن کاملInducing Polygons of Line Arrangements
We show that an arrangement A of n lines in general position in the plane has an inducing polygon of size O(n). Additionally, we present a simple algorithm for finding an inducing n-path for A in O(n log n) time and an algorithm that constructs an inducing n-gon for a special class of line arrangements within the same time bound.

متن کاملArrangements of Lines with a Large Number of Triangles
An arrangement of lines is constructed by choosing n diagonals of the regular 2/i-gon. This arrangement is proved to form at least n(n 3)/3 triangular cells.
متن کاملOn Inducing Polygons and Related Problems
Bose et al. [1] asked whether for every simple arrangement A of n lines in the plane there exists a simple n-gon P that induces A by extending every edge of P into a line. We prove that such a polygon always exists and can be found in O(n log n) time. In fact, we show that every finite family of curves C such that every two curves intersect at least once and finitely many times and no three cur...
متن کاملCounting Convex k-gons in an Arrangement of Line Segments
Let A(S) be the arrangement formed by a set of n line segments S in the plane. A subset of arrangement vertices p1, p2, . . . , pk is called a convex k-gon of A(S) if (p1, p2, . . . , pk) forms a convex polygon and each of its sides, namely, (pi, pi+1) is part of an input segment. We want to count the number of distinct convex k-gons in the arrangement A(S), of which there can be Θ(n) in the wo...
