    Abstract

    We show that, for any fixed δ > 0, the combinatorial complexity of the union of a triangles in the plane, each of whose angles is at least δ, is O(n2α(n) log* n). with the constant of proportionality depending oil δ. This considerably improves the twenty-year-old bound O(n log log n), due to Matoušek et al. [24, 25].
