The beta invariant of an arrangement
A is, by definition, the Euler characteristic of complement of
A in complex projective space.
The beta invariant of a flat
F is the beta invariant of the
restriction of
A to
F.
i1 : A = typeA(3)
o1 = A
o1 : Hyperplane Arrangement

i2 : euler A -- for a real arrangement, equals number of bounded chambers
o2 = 2
