The supersolvable line arrangement double-point conjecture

Let A{\mathcal A} be a supersolvable line arrangement consisting of d=Ad=|{\mathcal A}| lines, and suppose that A{\mathcal A} is not a pencil. Denote by n2n_2 the number of intersection points of multiplicity two. Double-point conjecture. Then

n2d2.n_2 \geq \frac{d}{2}.

This conjecture was checked for all non-pencil supersolvable arrangements that are either real or have at most 1212 lines. It is also established in several classes, including the cases described in the paper, but remains open in general.
