Abstract

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 number of edges is shown to be O(n2α(n)log n), where α(n) is a slowly growing inverse of the Ackermann function. There are arrangements of n lines where this complexity can be as large as Ω(n2α(n)).
