✦ Synopsis


The combinatorial complexity of the Voronoi diagram of n lines in three dimensions under a convex distance function induced by a polytope with a constant Ž 2 Ž . . Ž . number of edges is shown to be O n ␣ n log n , where ␣ n is a slowly growing inverse of the Ackermann function. There are arrangements of n lines where this Ž 2 Ž .. complexity can be as large as ⍀ n ␣ n .
