Abstract
We define a combinatorial object that can be associated with any conic-line arrangement with ordinary singularities, which we call the combinatorial Poincar\'e polynomial. We prove a Terao-type factorization statement on the splitting of such a polynomial over the rationals under the assumption that our conic-line arrangements are free and admit ordinary quasi-homogeneous singularities. Then we focus on the so-called -arrangements in the plane. In particular, we provide a combinatorial constraint for free -arrangements admitting ordinary quasi-homogeneous singularities.
