Title
The combinatorial complexity of hyperplane transversals
Abstract
We show that the maximum combinatorial complexity of the space of hyperplane transversals to a family of n separated and strictly convex sets in Rd is &THgr;(n⌊d/2⌋), which generalizes results of Edelsbrunner and Sharir in the plane. As a key step in the argument, we show that the space of hyperplanes tangent to &kgr; ≤ d separated and strictly convex sets in Rd is a topological (d - &kgr;)-sphere.
