Abstract

We prove that the number of distinct weaving patterns produced by n semi-algebraic curves in ℝ3 defined coordinate-wise by polynomials of degrees bounded by some constant d, is bounded by 2O(nlogn), where the implied constant in the exponent depends on d. This generalizes a similar bound obtained by Pach, Pollack and Welzl [3] for the case when d=1.
