In this paper, we establish a lower bound on the number of inducing simple n-gons in grid-like arrangements of lines. We also show that the complexity associated with counting the number of inducing n-gons in an arrangement of collinear segments is #P-complete.

We investigate the complexity of membership problems for {∪,∩, ̄ , +,×}-circuits computing sets of integers. These problems are a natural modification of the membership problems for circuits computing sets of natural numbers studied by McKenzie and Wagner (2003). We show that there are several membership problems for which the complexity in the case of integers differs significantly from the ca...
