On rich lenses in planar arrangements of circles and related problems

Esther Ezra, Orit E. Raz, Micha Sharir, Joshua Zahl

英文摘要:

We show that the maximum number of pairwise non-overlapping $k$-rich lenses (lenses formed by at least $k$ circles) in an arrangement of $n$ circles in the plane is $O\left(\frac{n^{3/2}\log{(n/k^3)}}{k^{5/2}} + \frac{n}{k} \right)$, and the sum of the degrees of the lenses of such a family (where the degree of a lens is the number of circles that form it) is $O\left(\frac{n^{3/2}\log{(n/k^3)}}{k^{3/2}} + n\right)$. Two independent proofs of these bounds are given, each interesting in its own right (so we believe). We then show that these bounds lead to the known bound of Agarwal et al. (JACM 2004) and Marcus and Tardos (JCTA 2006) on the number of point-circle incidences in the plane. Extensions to families of more general algebraic curves and some other related problems are also considered.
