The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.5 fb<jats:sup><jats:italic>−</jats:italic>1</jats:sup>. The resonant structure of the decay is obtained using a quasi-model-independent partial-wave analysis, in which the <jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>+</jats:sup><jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>−</jats:italic></jats:sup> S-wave amplitude is parameterised as a generic complex function determined by a fit to the data. The S-wave component is found to be dominant, followed by the contribution from spin-2 resonances and a small contribution from spin-1 resonances. The latter includes the first observation of the <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$ {D}_s^{+} $$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> </mml:msubsup> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula><jats:italic>→ ω</jats:italic>(782)<jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>+</jats:sup> channel in the <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$ {D}_s^{+} $$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> </mml:msubsup> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula><jats:italic>→ π</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>−</jats:italic></jats:sup><jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>+</jats:sup><jats:italic>π</jats:italic><jats:sup>+</jats:sup> decay.
