Summary

This work effectively closes the problem of bounding the complexity of the lower envelope of n univariate functions by establishing sharp bounds on Davenport-Schinzel sequences of every order s by revealing that, contrary to one's intuition, λs(n) behaves essentially like λ s-1( n) when s is odd.
