Abstract

Let $G$ be a graph without loops or multiple edges drawn in the plane. It is shown that, for any $k$, if $G$ has at least $C_k n$ edges and $n$ vertices, then it contains three sets of $k$ edges, such that every edge in any of the sets crosses all edges in the other two sets. Furthermore, two of the three sets can be chosen such that all $k$ edges in the set have a common vertex.
