Popis: It[Figure not available: see fulltext.] and[Figure not available: see fulltext.] are two families of pairwise disjoint simple closed curves in the plane such that each curve in[Figure not available: see fulltext.] intersects each curve in[Figure not available: see fulltext.], then the total number of points of intersection in[Figure not available: see fulltext.] is at least 2(m?1)n, where[Figure not available: see fulltext.][Figure not available: see fulltext.], and this bound is best possible. We use this to show that the cartesian product of two 5-cycles has crossing number 15.
