Abstract

We study combinatorial and algorithmic problems involving arrangements of n lines in 3-dimensional space, and then present applications of our results to a variety of problems on polyhedral terrains. The tools used to obtain the results include Pluecker coordinates for lines in space, random sampling in geometric problems, and a new variant of segment trees.
