Better Late than Never: the Complexity of Arrangements of Polyhedra

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the subdivision of $\mathbb{R}^d$ induced by $m$ convex polyhedra having $n$ facets in total. We prove that $\mathcal{A}$ has combinatorial complexity $O(m^{\lceil d/2 \rceil} n^{\lfloor d/2 \rfloor})$ and that this bound is tight. The bound is mentioned several times in the literature, but no proof for arbitrary dimension has been published before.
