title = "Combinatorial complexity of signed discs",
abstract = "Let C+ and C− be two collections of topological discs of arbitrary radii. The collection of discs is {\textquoteleft}topological{\textquoteright} in the sense that their boundaries are Jordan curves and each pair of Jordan curves intersect at most twice. We prove that the region ∪C+−∪C− has combinatorial complexity at most 10n-30 where p=|C+|, q=|C−| and n=p + q ≥ 5. Moreover, this bound is achievable. We also show bounds that are stated as functions of p and q. These are less precise.",
