A Note on the Number of Regions in a Line Arrangement

Abstract: For an arrangement of

n

lines in the real projective plane, we denote by

f

the number of regions into which the real projective plane is divided by the lines. Using Bojanowski's inequality, we establish a new lower bound for

f

. In particular, we show that if no more than

f r a c 23 n

lines intersect at any point, then

f g e f r a c 16 n^{2}
