We consider the following problem: Let be an arrangement of n lines in in general position colored red, green, and blue. Does there exist a vertical plane P such that a line in P simultaneously bisects all three classes of points induced by the intersection of lines in with P? Recently, Schnider used topological methods to prove that such a cross-section always exists. In this work, we give an alternative proof of this fact, using only methods from discrete geometry. With this combinatorial proof at hand, we devise an time algorithm to find such a plane and a bisector of the induced cross-section. We do this by providing a general framework, from which we expect that it can be applied to solve similar problems on cross-sections and kinetic points.

平分三类线
我们考虑以下问题: 是n行的排列一般情况下,颜色分别为红色,绿色和蓝色。不存在的垂直平面P,使得在线路P同时平分所有三类点的通过线在交叉感应与P?最近,施耐德(Schnider)使用拓扑方法证明了这种横截面始终存在。在这项工作中,我们仅使用离散几何中的方法给出了这一事实的替代证明。有了这个组合证明,我们设计了一个时间算法来找到这样一个平面和等分线的横截面。我们通过提供一个通用框架来做到这一点,我们希望可以将其应用于解决横截面和动力学点上的类似问题。
