Here's a link to Warren Smith's publication page http://www.math.temple.edu/~wds/homepage/works.html. Unfortunately, nothing resembling that seems to be on it. His email is wds@math.temple.edu. Victor On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Joshua Zucker <joshua.zucker@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Neil, Thanks!!!
Now if only I were educated enough to understand the paper!
In particular, can someone explain to me the meaning of the notation A_1, A_2, D_4, E_8, E_8 + A_1 and so on?
Also there's a lot of reference there to a WD Smith preprint -- does anyone have a reference to that?
Finally I am also interested in the results for small numbers of points (how many arrangements are there, how to classify them, and so on) which seems almost but not quite entirely different than this question of the asymptotics. So any further pointers there would be great.
Thanks to everyone for the help! I've learned a lot. --Joshua
