Abstract

An algorithm is demonstrated that finds an ordinary intersection in an arrangement of nn lines in R2\mathbb{R}^2, not all parallel and not all passing through a common point, in time O(nlogn)O(n \log{n}). The algorithm is then extended to find an ordinary intersection among an arrangement of hyperplanes in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, no dd passing through a line and not all passing through the same point, again, in time O(nlogn)O(n \log{n}). Two additional algorithms are provided that find an ordinary or monochromatic intersection, respectively, in an arrangement of pseudolines in time O(n2)O(n^2).
