  The paper studies 'good arrangements' (transversality properties) of
collections of sets in a normed vector space near a given point in their
intersection. We target primal (metric and slope) characterizations of
transversality properties in the nonlinear setting. The Holder case is given a
special attention. Our main objective is not formally extending our earlier
results from the Holder to a more general nonlinear setting, but rather to
develop a general framework for quantitative analysis of transversality
properties. The nonlinearity is just a simple setting, which allows us to unify
the existing results on the topic. Unlike the well-studied subtransversality
property, not many characterizations of the other two important properties:
semitransversality and transversality have been known even in the linear case.
Quantitative relations between nonlinear transversality properties and the
corresponding regularity properties of set-valued mappings as well as nonlinear
extensions of the new transversality properties of a set-valued mapping to a
set in the range space due to Ioffe are also discussed.
