  My 1994 paper "On the number of minimal 1-Steiner trees" with Aronov and Bern, in some preliminary manuscript versions, included a bound of \(O(m^{\lceil d/2\rceil}n^{\lfloor d/2\rfloor})\) on the complexity of an arrangement of \(m\) convex polytopes given as intersections of a total of \(n\) halfspaces, interpolating between the upper bound theorem for polytopes and the complexity of hyperplane arrangements. However, the manuscript and the proof were lost. This paper re-proves the result, with better care for the degenerate cases.
