Abstract

In 1972, Branko Grünbaum conjectured that any nontrivial arrangement of n > 2 pairwise intersecting pseudocircles in the plane can have at most 2n-2 digons (regions enclosed by exactly two pseudoarcs), with the bound being tight. While this conjecture has been confirmed for cylindrical arrangements of pseudocircles and more recently for geometric circles, we extend these results to any simple arrangement of pairwise intersecting pseudocircles.
