β¦ Synopsis
We define the Dowling transform of a real frame arrangement and show how the characteristic polynomial changes under this transformation. As a special case, the Dowling transform sends the braid arrangement A n to the Dowling arrangement. Using Zaslavsky's characterization of supersolvability of signed graphs, we show supersolvability of an arrangement is preserved under the Dowling transform. We also give a direct proof of Zaslavsky's result on the number of chambers and bounded chambers in a real hyperplane arrangement.

We present a new combinatorial method to determine the characteristic polynomial of any subspace arrangement that is defined over an infinite field, generalizing the work of Blass and Sagan. Our methods stem from the theory of valuations and Groemer's integral theorem. As a corollary of our main the
In this article a combination of the subspace method with the block sum transformation is presented. Applying the block sum transformation a measuring window of the length ΒΉ can be subdivided into intervals ΒΉ\* where ΒΉ\* is an integer part of ΒΉ. The data of all subwindows are added up to only one, w
