Abstract

We consider the following problem: Let L be an arrangement of n lines in R3 in general position colored red, green, and blue. Does there exist a vertical plane P such that a line in P simultaneously bisects all three classes of points induced by the intersection of lines in L with P? Recently, Schnider used topological methods to prove that such a cross-section always exists. In this work, we give an alternative proof of this fact, using only methods from discrete geometry. With this combinatorial proof at hand, we devise an O(n2log2⁡(n)) time algorithm to find such a plane and a bisector of the induced cross-section. We do this by providing a general framework, from which we expect that it can be applied to solve similar problems on cross-sections and kinetic points.
