Sweep produces O(1+s^2) pieces
Statement (paper)
The number of open pieces produced by the left-to-right sweep of the gaps is , including in the presence of multiple intersections or several events with the same abscissa.
In plain English
The left-to-right sweep over the gaps between sampled circles produces only open pieces. This holds even when several intersections or other events share the same abscissa.
Why it's here
This bounds the number of regions in the cutting lemma by , as the parent statement requires. The count comes from the number of events (endpoints and pairwise intersections of the sampled unit circles, which is ) together with the fact that coincident events do not add extra pieces.
Classified routine:
Standard vertical-decomposition / trapezoidal sweep counting for arrangements of s pseudo-circles (as in Clarkson–Shor style cuttings): the number of pieces is linear in the number of vertices and arcs, which is O(1+s^2).
